Disable beep of Linux Bash on Windows 10

Question

Having a Linux Bash on Windows 10 is pretty cool  but as far as I ve got to struggle with the not-so-good terminal provided from Microsoft I m gonna get stuck with Ubuntu for everything   Anyway  is there a way to turn off that beep whenever you do something on the Bash   Since it is not possible to comment out bell-style audible because is not there  nor is it possible to launch sc config beep start  disabled

User · Answer

You need add following lines to bash and vim config,

1) Turn off bell for bash

vi ~/.inputrc
set bell-style none

2) Turn off bell for vi

vi ~/.vimrc
set visualbell
set t_vb=

Setting the visual bell turns off the audio bell and clearing the visual bell length deactivates flashing.

Find the location of the  bash profile file and enter the following into the file   setterm -blength 0  Which will set the amount of time the beep happens to 0 and thus no beep

Since the only noise terminals tend to make is the bell and if you want it off everywhere  the very simplest way to do it for bash on Windows    Mash backspace a bunch at the prompt Right click sound icon and choose Open Volume Mixer Lower volume on Console Window Host to zero

Replace in System Sounds the  Critical Stop  to a wav-file which is silent 1    Just removing the sound completely did not work for me  Apparently some default sound was used in this case       Credits for this lau  on SuperUser for discovering this

Andrea Tulimiero  s answer works for local  but when you ssh to a remote server  the beep turns on again  My suggestion is to disable from the Windows 10 taskbar  There is volume mixer in the right bottom corner  which works for me

To disable the beeps when ssh-ing in a remote machine  simply create the same    inputrc and    vimrc files on the remote machine to stop ssh itself from beeping   See the answer from  Nemo for the contents of each file

In addition to what jgr208 said  you may have a    profile file already and    bash profile may not be present  as was the case with me   In this case  add setterm -blength 0 to the  profile   If you create a  bash profile  your  profile will be ignored and anything Windows wrote there will not work

To disable the beep in bash you need to uncomment  or add if not already there  the line set bell-style none in your  etc inputrc file   Note  Since it is a protected file you need to be a privileged user to edit it  i e  launch your text editor with something like sudo  lt editor gt   etc inputrc   To disable the beep also in vim you need to add set visualbell in your    vimrc file  To disable the beep also in less  i e  also in man pages and when using  git diff   you need to add export LESS   LESS -R -Q  in your    profile file

Uncommenting set bell-style none in  etc inputrc and creating a  bash profile with setterm -blength 0 didn t stop vim from beeping   What worked for me was creating a  vimrc file in my home directory with set visualbell   Source  https   linuxconfig org turn-off-beep-bell-on-linux-terminal

I found that TedMilker s solution worked  but I would need to readjust the Volume Mixer each time I restarted  To make it permanent  I adjusted volume levels within the Windows App Volume and Device Preferences   Taken from this post   Settings   System   Sound   App volume and device preferences  Set Console Window Host to Zero     You may need to hit Tab   Backspace in the console window to trigger the bell sound before the Console Window Host slider appears
