Quieting MySQL - Disabling beep in Windows.
I write code in bed at night on my laptop. I tend to make typos in the dark (yeah … that’s why). In MySQL interactive shell an error generates a beep on windows (ASCII BEL). It is loud. Being night, this bothers my wife. I need to avoid this.
I googled for “disable beep in mysql” and the first hit was MySQL bug 17088 “Command line tools beep too loud on Windows”.
The answer? Turn off the beep service on windows.
> net stop beep
Beeps stopped.
Wife sleeps.
Typos continue.

This would stop the beep service until the next reboot (at least it did it on my machine). To disable it permanently, please refer to M$ article:
