How can I disable Windows sounds in Bash?

[mout12]

If I try to move the cursor passed the end of a block of text, Windows chimes a sound. How can I disable all such sounds?

I use set bell-style none in ~/.inputrc to silence all shell beeps.

(Sorry,My English is poor)This method does not take effect for VIM, you need to close the Windows Sound.you shuld Open the Control Panel -> Open Hardware and Sound -> Open Sound ->Select Sound -> Modify the critical stop sound scheme(打开控制面板——>打开硬件和声音——>打开声音——>选择声音——>修改关键性停止的声音方案)

set bell-style none doesn't works for me. I use Volume Mixer to mute Console Window Host.

bennyyip's suggestion to mute Console Window Host is the only thing that works for me.

But I still want a sound, just a nicer one. I think it's being played by the Beep Driver, which in Windows 10 plays the event "Critical Stop" which is "Windows Foreground.wav". It's a singularly horrible sound to have mapped to a console bell that rings every time bash completion is unhappy. You can set which sound is played in the Sound Driver (Windows Ding is better). Perhaps someone on the WSL team is equally annoyed by the sound and will sneak in a more mellifluous user experience.

The solution of @xiuluo worked for me !!!

I wanted to let folks know that @osimons solution regarding bell in .inputrc worked for me after restarting bash/Ubuntu. I'm using Windows 10 Insider Preview 16278.

As of July 10, 2017 Ubunto Linux is now Available in the Windows Store. As such I could see this page getting some more attention in the near future.

In Linux, I usually disable the audible bell and enable the visual bell by adding set bell-style visible to ~/.inputrc or /etc/inputrc as I find the flashing terminal less annoying than the audible bell.

While this works in WSL in term of silencing the audible bell, it does not enable the visual bell. I wonder whether this is worth filing a separate bug...

This is not a bug, this is a feature. :-)

For bash (and other readline-based programs) use:
set bell-style visible
in
~/.inputrc

For vim use:
set visualbell
in
~/.vimrc

However, visual bells do not seem to work. I will file another bug report.
