Annoying beep whenever i change audio level in windows 11, made the changes that i saw online(in sound settings setting both notification and default beep to none) but the sound still comes when i change the volume
these two were the only changes i saw online and both of them did not work.

    "There is no way to change it individually."

    Why is this the case? How many users actually want to hear any kind of extraneous sound when they change the volume of something playing? I would guess almost none. The lack of an on/off option for "Beep on volume change" is a serious design fault in Windows.

    Hello! I'm Manoel Barros, a user with experience in Microsoft products. I will help you with your problem!

    The sound setting that controls the "beep" when you change the sound volume is the notification sound setting. There is no way to change it individually.

    Make sure the steps below are the same as the ones you followed.

    1. Press WINDOWS + R > Type "ms-settings:sound" (Without quotes) > Select More Sounds Settings > Sounds.
    2. In Program Events, look and select for Notification > In Sounds (next to the Test button), change "Windows Notify System Generic" to "None".
    3. Click Apply > OK.

    If you've already done this and it didn't work, it may be a Windows bug. Try resetting the sound scheme.

    1. In the same tab, under Sound Scheme, select None instead of "Windows Default" > Restart the computer.
    2. After restarting, go back to the Sounds tab, and set the "Windows Default" scheme > Change the Notification sound again (step by step above).

    I look forward to your feedback on the issue! If your problem is solved, please review the topic so I can help other users with this issue.

    This also didn't work for me. I turned off every instance that this ringtone is used, but nothing stops it. This has been the worst part of my transition to Windows 11 so far. Especially when I have to adjust to hear folks in meetings, and my computer keeps beeping with every adjustment. :(
