This subject has come up before, and I have the same problem from time to time. The problem seems to be that TB has a fairly short timeout of 30 seconds, which is not adjustable. My ISP struggles to respond within this timeout at peak times, so I got a lot of bleeps. As the the solution, there is not one at present, other than turning off the Windows sound for Exclamation. The longer term ones will hopefully appear in TB 2.0: either an adjustable timeout; or the ability to turn off the sound. You could always post a wish at Ritlabs.
