Disable beep of Linux Bash on Windows 10 [closed]

Answer 1

Since the only noise terminals tend to make is the bell and if you want it off everywhere, the very simplest way to do it for bash on Windows:

1. Mash backspace a bunch at the prompt
2. Right click sound icon and choose Open Volume Mixer
3. Lower volume on Console Window Host to zero

Answer 2

To disable the beeps when ssh-ing in a remote machine, simply create the same ~/.inputrc and ~/.vimrc files on the remote machine to stop ssh itself from beeping.

See the answer from @Nemo for the contents of each file.

Answer 3

I found that TedMilker's solution worked, but I would need to readjust the Volume Mixer each time I restarted. To make it permanent, I adjusted volume levels within the Windows App Volume and Device Preferences.

Taken from this post:

Settings / System / Sound / App volume and device preferences

Set Console Window Host to Zero.

(You may need to hit Tab / Backspace in the console window to trigger the bell sound before the Console Window Host slider appears.)

Answer 4

its not specific to bash windows 10. but if you want remove the bell terminal for zsh, just use the right option in zshrc. (for vim, answer already posted)

unsetopt beep

Answer 5

Find the location of the .bash_profile file and enter the following into the file:

setterm -blength 0

Which will set the amount of time the beep happens to 0 and thus no beep.

Answer 6

Uncommenting set bell-style none in /etc/inputrc and creating a .bash_profile with setterm -blength 0 didn't stop vim from beeping.

What worked for me was creating a .vimrc file in my home directory with set visualbell.
