How to Disable Terminal Beeps
Depending on your system under test, you may hear terminal beeps (or bells) while executing terminal tests in Cycle. This article describes a solution for silencing terminal beeps.
The Cycle application does not have a sound setting itself, however, terminal beeps can be muted through Windows settings.
You can follow the steps below to mute the terminal beeps.
1. Start a Cycle terminal test.
2. Open the Volume Mixer while Cycle is executing the test and making the sound.
3. You should be able to find the application that is making the sound. In my example below, I identified "Console Window Host" as the terminal application. Mute the application once you find it.
4. The muting of the terminal is persistent, even after closing and re-opening Cycle.
