Now before any of you think I’m being too technical here and going over the top about disabling the Windows 7 Start Up Sound, I’m not. Most of you are probably getting ready now to dart down to the comments and tell me that i’m a bit thick if I can’t figure out that all I have to do is turn off my volume on my speakers.
Well that’s not always the case, for example how many times have you forgotten to turn off your speakers and you’ve left them up on full blast after chilling out to some of your favorite tunes last night, and you’re booting up your PC at 7am, I’m sure your wife and kids will be well impressed with you for waking them up so early. Or what if you’re on a laptop? There’s very few laptops that let you adjust the volume until the laptop is actually powered on and ready to go as the drivers and programs for adjusting them haven’t all be loaded fully.
So now that you can see why I’ve written this post, let’s continue.
1. Firstly go to Control Panel -> Sound
2. Then select the Sounds tab
3. You should see a check box that says “Play Windows Start Up Sound” now all you have to do is deselect it and click Apply
Now that’s fairly simple and straightforward isn’t it, I bet you didn’t think it would be that easy!
Another option you have though is to change the start up sound all together, or any of the other ones that you see there in that list.
