Turn the beep off!

Random, quick tip - I can't believe I didn't know this already, but it turns out you can turn off the annoying DOS style BEEP from a command prompt in Windows.

Open a command prompt.

Type
net stop beep

you should get a response of
The Beep service was stopped successfully.

To turn it back on -
net start beep. 

To test it type "echo [ctrl G]"  - which will look like


echo ^G

on screen.
