Originally created by @nikatjef on GitHub (Dec 8, 2020).

Environment

Windows build number: [run `[Version 10.0.19041.630]`
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.5.3242.0

Any other software?
Multiple variants of Linux and BSD

Steps to reproduce

In a WSL terminal and at a command prompt, press tab or any direction key.

Expected behavior

Bell will sound

Actual behavior

Bell will sound

Request

Give us a mechanism in Terminal settings to disable the bell without having to silence the bell every where. Perhaps a profile setting to disable sound in general for the specific profile or possible an option to disable CTRL-G

bellStyle is already a per-profile setting. So you can set it to "none" for your WSL distros and leave it "audible" for the rest

For anyone else finding this issue: the option is now documented in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/customize-settings/profile-advanced, and can also be set the the GUI settings, but only per profile and not as a global setting.

It's at the bottom of this screenshot:

Out of interest does anybody actually enjoy the beep and is glad this feature was added?

Well I don't; it's not a pleasant experience to hear this sound when wearing a headset :-S

Anyways, setting "bellStyle" to "none" doesn't work for me. Atleast not in PowerShell...

Boy I can't get PowerShell to beep at all. I'm worried that they're doing something weird like calling [console]::beep() rather than emitting a BEL, which we wouldn't be able to stop, but since I can't even get powershell to beep outside of the Terminal I can't be more help 😕

for windterm portable:
Preferences->Default Session Settings -> Terminal -> Bell
Another option "Visual Bell" would be desparately needed and wanted :)

We don't own "Windterm". This is not the appropriate place to file issues on "Windterm". :)

open powershell in wt，cilck Ctrl+R for history search, then click backspace, I heard a beep noise, which not emitting a BEL. It‘s caused by powershell.exe, nothing about wt.
