Examples to such system events could be a computer program having problems performing a task, or trying to write a file on a removable drive without the drive being inserted, etc. To prevent your system to issue beep sound on operating system events you can make changes to the registry. For this, go to start > run menu, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. Now, right-click and modify the string value beep, in the right panel, to no which can turn off the sound. However, if you want to enable the feature back, change the value data to yes. The changes take effect after a restart or logoff. When editing the registry it is highly recommended to run a quick scan for optimization, you can test your system now for free.
