Weird "ding-sound" when adjusting audio track-heights in Premiere Pro 2018

[chrisj44835960]

Hi all, I've discovered that I can change my audio track-heights in Premiere Pro CC 2018 in Windows by using keyboard shortcuts, pressing together "Alt +" or "Alt -" so I can see the audio-track's waveforms much clearer. The thing is that the system plays a weird "ding" sound every time I do that (which sounds exactly like the default "error-ding" of Windows!!).

1. Is that normal?!!

2. Can I disable this weird sound? (as I use this shortcut quite often lately!!).

However it does NOT give ANY sound at all when I adjust the video track-heights (by pressing "Ctrl +" or "Ctrl -" (which is weird, I'd expect the same sound as well). Many thanks in advance to whoever answers my questions

I've never heard that, but then ... I've also disabled almost all 'sounds' in Windows anytime the app updates itself.

As Neil hinted, that sounds like some Windows setting.

It's come from the Windows 'Default Beep'

It a generic setting so if you set it to "(None)" any other windows app that uses the default beep gets none also.

But that's how you can turn it off... Call up the "Sound" ("Change System Sounds") and set the Default Beep to none.

Thank you guys. So I'm the only one with this problem? Anyone else?  

[MyerPj]

Everybody has that, so far only you have mentioned it as a problem. I showed you above how to turn that off.

Thank you MyerPj, your solution worked fine, it's just that this "ding-sound" is also used by Windows in some other occasions, but never mind, I turned that off for now.

By the way, you can request new features or bug reports here:

Premiere Pro: Hot (1582 ideas) – Adobe video & audio apps

Perhaps you could request this as a new feature/fix, ie: see if the Adobe guys can turn that sound off when using the Alt +/-.

The problem with the given solution is that the Windows Default Beep is actually quite useful in other contexts.  It alerts you when an app finds your input unexpected or invalid.
