Adjusting Settings Through Control Panel | Turning Sound Sentry On and Off

 

SoundSentry allows you to change the settings to generate visual warnings, such as a blinking title bar or a screen flash, whenever the computer you are using generates a sound. You will be able to choose visual warnings (for example, a flashing border) for sounds made by windowed programs and for sounds made by full screen text programs.
