Sound on Microsoft ACCESS Database Action

After I highlight a cell in ACCESS and, using my mouse cursor, I move around on the screen, as long as the cell that I selected is visible on the screen, I get a "bell" sound as I move scroll down.  The "bell" sound occurs as I scroll up or down for each line that I scroll.  The sound stops when the highlighted cell is no longer visible.  This is bizarre.  How do I turn the sound off?

    I've just encountered this problem on an existing MS Access database that I hadn't used for a few months.

    Specifically, it occurs when I click on a cell in a table or datasheet form (so editing is enabled) not if I only highlight a row and scroll.

    I created a new database from scratch, with one table and one simple datasheet form and reproduced exactly the same problem: as long as the row being edited is on screen, Windows chimes with every scroll movement. Once the row with focus goes off screen, the chiming stops.

    Bizarre.
