New Internet Explorer 7 -makes annoying sound

[GoodKarmaKid]

I downloaded the new IE 7 browser, and when surfing here on PAW, every time I click on a different forum or post, my browser makes an annoying little beep. Anyone know what it is and how to turn it off???

I've poked around in the setup and internet options but I couldn't find any relevant settings to change. I'm sure I'm overlooking something simple.


Thanks,
Jason

I do have firefox, and my personal favorite that I use most often is Maxthon , which in my opinion is awesome I use the group functions alot, it fires open as many web pages as I want from a predefined group. For example I have one group that is SEO, whenever I find a worthy site for SEO or a nice article, I just save that page to the "SEO" group. Open that group up and every site I have ever bookmarked is there

Main reason I am using IE 7.0 right now is to see if there are any bugs or concerns regarding my different web pages. I have already found some items which will need to be dealt with, for example:

1. If you have a link set to open in new window, the new IE7 is treating the vast majority of these as pop ups and blocking them which is obviously bad.

As good as you think FireFox is ( and I agree there are a lot of cool features), and as great as I think Maxthon is, the vast majority of web users use Internet Explorer, around 85% according to my logs. Also, there are several known bugs with FireFox and tracking issues with affiliate programs, so if you are encouraging your visitors to use FireFox, you might miss out on some income

I'm using IE7 as well. What I do is turn off all of my Windows sounds completely. It saves CPU usage and then I don't get bothered when I'm trying to listen to music or something.

I'm running on Opera 9 broswer mostly. I've read that it's the safest browser on Cnet before. But I like it for it's superior tab functions.

The google tool bar does the same thing...so did I.E 6, i made posts to several google groups and web desgin related forums and they all said the same thing...no way around it..."open in new window" will inevitably trigger a pop-up blocker.
BAd bad bad. almost all my link are now "same window" until someone tells me of a work around.

This is disturbing...every site I have I have my links to open in new windows!

That sucks...guess I will have to go to every page and change them!


Sucks, sucks, sucks.
