Two places and two different possibilities. 1. In [Tools], [Preferences], [Sounds] is the Pidgin sound configuration option dialog. It could be that you have a combination of sound enabled that you don't want enabled. I only have these checked. I have all others unchecked. [x] Message received [x] Message sent [x] You talk in chat [x] Others talk in chat [x] Attention received 2. The beep you describe sounds like the system console beep or console bell. Many people find that annoying but it has always been the default console bell. But searching for information around it and around the Linux "pcspkr" kernel module will yield better information about it. To turn off the console bell / console beeper in X use: $ xset b off This is enabled by the Linux kernel module "pcspkr". You can unload the module from the running kernel with: # modprobe -r pcspkr To prevent the kernel module pcspkr from ever being loaded you can blacklist it by creating a file with just these contents: File /etc/modprobe.d/pcspkr-blacklist.conf: blacklist pcspkr With that in place the module won't be loaded by default at boot time. Without that module installed then no program will be able to access the console bell beeper (by normal means) and the beeper will always be silent. Bob
