Environment

Windows 10 Pro 20H2 (Win32NT 10.0.19042.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19042.0)
Windows Terminal 1.6.10571.0

Any other software?
Git Bash 3.4.4

Steps to reproduce

1.- Open Windows Terminal
2.- Open a file to explore with less. Ex: less file.txt
3.- Press Upwards Arrow multiple times
4.- Feel the annoying sound, unless you have disabled it from the OS or changed the default to a better one.

Expected behavior

An option to disable terminal alert sound from the terminal and just for the terminal.

Actual behavior

There is no option to disable sound from the terminal and you can do it, finding workarounds but it could be cool to have that option.

Seriously suggest checking docs and issues first.

Yep, this can be turned off with "bellStyle": "none"

HOWEVER. Some applications do not use bell support. They actually play the sound directly. We cannot stop them when they do that.
