Modify sounds in Windows?

I am working at copying some sound tracks from DVDs to my hard drive. No piracy involved - they are recordings from my own classes.

The thing is that since I have to do this in real time, by playing the DVD and taking the sound onto the hard drive via a piece of sound recording software, every noise produced by the computer goes onto the new sound file.

While working in Outlook and while editing another web-base address database, some navigation decisions are accompanied by a sound. Kind of a "bonk" sound.

My question is, can I turn off these sounds?

Thanks for any help!!

Start > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices

Second Tab

Now change any ones you want (or turn them ALL off like I do).

Completely removing unwanted background noise is not possible but can be removed to some extend. Play your recordings in any audio editing/ recording software. Try it with FlexiMusic Wave Editor , from the menu, choose Effect command where in select Noise Reduction command from which opt either pure noise or apply noise filter so as to reduce the unwanted background noise.
