Problem

When I perform an action that is not valid in a given context, like attempting to type when a text area does not have the focus I hear a beep, which is very distracting when wearing headphones. How can I disable this? I am not sure how to reproduce this as it only happens under certain circumstances which I have not yet nailed down.

Fix for: How do I disable the beep in OSX Leopard when I perform an invalid action?

Low Risk

Unchecking the "User interface sounds" doesn't disable all sound. But sliding the "Alert Volume" option all the way to the left (minimum), together with unchecking the other options does the trick.
