Hi Joe, Rather than turning off the reminder sound for all appointments (which virtually prevents you from using the Outlook calendar feature), I suggest you first see if it's an appointment reminder or something else making the sound; if it's a reminder, you could easily just clear all the pending ones so that you can start over.
To see if it's a reminder for a calendar appointment, alt-tab through your open windows when you hear the sound, and see if you find one whose title is "reminders". If you find such a window, there are buttons you can find by tabbing through the controls in this window. One deletes the current reminder, and one deletes all pending reminders (and then the window will close). If you don't find a reminders window, is it happening when you open an Outlook email? If so, it might be the sound played when the notification bar of an Outlook email has a message for you. The message is usually automatically spoken as you hear the sound. There is a way you can configure Outlook Enhance not to play a sound for these notification bar messages. Finally, I wrote an app named Outlook Reminder, which plays the Outlook reminder sound once a minute, if you leave the reminders window open (it's designed so you won't miss a reminder if you were out of the room when it happened). If you installed this app, you could either dismiss all your reminders as described above, or uninstall this app, and at least you will only hear the Outlook reminder sound the one time you go into Outlook.

Hi, I'm using a Windows 7 64-bit laptop with ie 11 and latest Firefox. I have all updates. Since We 9.1, I continually get the reminder chime when I go into my inbox and just want to read email. I mean, I don't mind a reminder once but I get them consistently even when I'm overdue. They pop up and the chime goes off and I'd just like to be able to control when I'm nagged about something. Where do I go to take charge of this??? Thank you! I'll remind you same time tomorrow if I hear nothing!
