Replace the obnoxious noise using Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Sounds
tab
Make sure a sound profile is selected ( probably have Windows Default there ) and
then single click on Default Beep. Select a new sound from the drop down list at
the bottom ( I found chimes to be reasonable ). I find it interesting to note that
with "No Sounds" selected, the annoying volume adjustment beep still exists.
Good luck...
