Digitaler Durchblick: Sie hassen das Windows-Sounddesign? - Wie alles gut wird

Windows once offered a small chamber orchestra to welcome users at startup, sending chills down many users' spines. Those days have passed since Windows 10, where Microsoft removed the start sound by default. In Windows 11, users now have to deal with a start sound once again, but it is largely unobtrusive and unobtrusive. Despite this: tones, sounds, and music are a matter of personal taste.

Those who do not wish to hear the start sound when turning on their computer can easily turn it off. Sound or silence - both are possible. Here's how it goes: Type "Sound" in the lower left search box. Select "Change System Sounds" from the search results. In the window that opens, uncheck the box next to "Play Windows Start Sound."

Click "Apply" at the bottom right, then "OK." In addition, Windows 11 still uses dozens of event sounds, from alarms for critical battery status to signals for false detection in Windows speech recognition. All of these can be changed, as they are all activatable or changable in the sound window described above. To do this, click on the desired entry under "Program Events."

Then, at the bottom left in the drop-down menu, select "None" to turn off the sound for the respective event and confirm with "Apply/OK." Or select an existing desired sound from the drop-down menu and confirm as above. Or click "Search," choose any sound on the computer or connected storage device in WAV format, and confirm.
