Question about 'Turn Off the PC-Speaker'

I have a comment about Turn Off the PC-Speaker:

I found that even modifying the sound scheme didn;t affect the command window's response to a CTRL-G (BEL) character in the output. No matter what sound settings I made (muting the speakers, changing the volume) I would still get this BEEP at a heart-attack inducing volume level.

Eventually I found that in Windows XP's "Advanced" options on the "Volume Control" applet (double-click the speaker in your system tray to bring this up) there is finally a "PC Spk Mute" checkbox that will shut the bloody thing up.

If someone knows how to replace that horrible noise with a sensible sound I'd like to know.
