Disable Sounds in VSCode

Some time ago, VSCode suddenly began making sounds when I save my files — without any change in configuration.

Here’s how to turn them off.

First, bring up the command palette with Command+Shift+P. Then, type List Signal sounds

You’ll see a list of events that trigger sounds.

Uncheck the ones that annoy you. Here are the main culprits that drive me mad:

  • Code action applied
  • Code action request triggered
  • Error at Position
  • Error at Line
  • Inline suggestion at line
  • No inlay hints on line
  • Undo Edits
  • Warning at Position
  • Warning at Line

But since I like coding without disruptions, I eventually unchecked everything.

Happy coding in silence :)
