Turning off the cmd window beep sound
Problem
Is there a way to essentially mute the Beeping function of the Windows command shell? I'm working on a PowerShell script right now which ends up printing several lines of text to the screen. I'm working out a bug in the encoding logic. But every time I'm wrong my script will spew a bunch of random binary characters to the screen and eventually cause many annoying beeps. The failure is quite obvious without the beeps :)

Fix for: Turning off the cmd window beep sound
The Windows command line command will turn off the beeping, and will turn on the beeping. Source It should be noted that the instruction stops the beep globally on windows and not on just for within the windows command shell. Also, the service will run again when you reboot your computer. @Ady's answer will suffice. But if you want to just disable it per instance, you can always put this method into a batch file (but it's so short you can just type it) and run it.
