Wow. That thing is so loud it will wake my wife. And headphones cause the dual
effect of 1.) Heart Attack and 2.) Fillings shaking out. Thanks so much for the
volume control idea...wonder why I ever set it up from zero to start. There has
to be a file that contains that sound unless it's hard-coded in Windows somewhere.
Maybe someone can find it and we can rename it, replacing it with a jackhammer.
That would be better!
