Well, I do know it's possible to assign a different sound to stuff in
windows, so what you might do is just assign a different, quieter sound
to it. That way, you can still tell when mail comes in, but it won't
disturb anyone. Just a thought, not sure if you have another sound you
can use, but i know the default mail soundin windows 7 seems like it'd
be ok.

No, I am clear down the hall in the living room. Although, the
acoustics in this house can get a bit weird. At times you can really
hear the sound from the front room being funneled quite well, yet I
can control the SR volume quite well, but not so much the "clanger
<smile>.
Hey now, we can stop calling it the clanger if we want too. I'm over
it now. But I do think it would be a good idea to have an option for
controlling the volume of WE's sounds. But then again, other things
are after all more urgent at the moment, like the silent speech issues

Wouldn't the screen reader disturb her more than the clanging?

Sorry about entering this thread a bit late.
I am the one who started the thing about the clanger <smile>. And,
the only reason I thought of it that way was due to the disturbance
it causes when it goes off early in the morning before my wife
wishes to rise, and it wakes her up.
Actually, I really don't mind this sound affect all that much
myself, but just wish there was a convenient way to turn it down
without having to prepare for it by fiddling with all of my volume
controls in order to keep from disturbing the spouse. If there were
a way to control the volume through WE, that would help a lot.

I just listened to the file in question and I'm not sure where
people are coming up with this "clanger" thing? It actually reminds
me of a doorbell, at least with Windows 7. I'm not sure if the
windows 8.1 sound for the information bar is different for that,
but for win 7 I'd actually call that more of a doorbell, ding dong!
Either way, it's good that that particular sound can be turned off
easily. I like it, because it lets me know a download is ready to
go, or something else with the information bar needs my attention.

Hello,
The sound indicates that the notification bar has appeared in
Outlook. To turn it off, open Window-Eyes with Control-Backslash,
navigate to Apps -> Outlook Enhance, and press Enter on "Play
sound when Outlook information bar appears."
Regards,
Steve

Subject: Can I turn off the clanger in Outlook
Can I turn off the clanger in Outlook? I don't mind it in IE, but
it gets pretty tedious while reading email. And wouldn't you
think warning sounds should be restricted to possibly dangerous
situations? Why should it clang when opening .txt messages?
