My email sound is the default one, and it is quiet. But the download sounds
are louder. Pam.

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

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?
