I tried everything on this list including
Find the "Beep" key on the right-hand side and change the value to "no".
Open up regedit.exe through the run box, and then navigate down to the following
key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Sound
Find the "Beep" key on the right-hand side and change the value to "no".
what finally worked for me was just muting the pc speaker in the volume control
(you may have to go to the options menu->properties first and show the pc speaker)
I'll go ahead and list some of the other things that may be helpful, even though
many of them are listed here already:
Open up Device Manager by right-clicking on Computer and choosing Properties, then
on the Hardware tab you'll find the button for Device Manager.
Select View \ Show hidden devices from the menu.
Find Non-Plug and Play Drivers in the list, and then right-click on "Beep" and disable
it:
When it prompts you to reboot, select no, and then right-click again and choose Properties
this time. On the Driver tab, change the Startup type to "Disabled" and then click
the "Stop" button if you are able to.
