Outlook plays a chime to alert you to scheduled tips on email, tasks, or calendar occasions. Unlike the brand-new mail alert (which you take care of in Windows), you handle the reminder alert in Outlook, where you can alter the chime to another thing or transform it off altogether. Here’s how to obtain that done.
Switch off the Chime
If you do not want an acoustic sharp every single time a tip turns up (which can be specifically rough if you’re collaborating with earphones on), then you can inform Outlook not to play a sound in all when a pointer schedules. Go to File > > Options > Advanced and scroll down to the “Reminders” area. The setup you’re searching for is “Play Reminder Sound.”
Change this off and after that click “OK.” Overview will no more play a sound when a reminder turns up.
Modification the Chime to Something Else
If you still desire an auditory alert, however you desire something besides the conventional “reminder.wav” chime, leave the “Play Reminder Sound” option switched on as well as click the “Browse” switch beside it.
You can after that choose any kind of WAV documents on your system to utilize for your reminder alert. When you’re done click “OK” to exit. You should not need to reboot Outlook, and your brand-new audio will certainly be played when a reminder appears.
If you’ve obtained a various documents kind you want to utilize, you’ll have to transform it (we’re huge followers of Audacity as well as VLC for audio job, yet use your device of selection). If you want among the various other Windows appears that you can access via Control Panel > > Sound, you’ll locate them at C: Windows media.
