Brad, Wow. You must have heard me griping about that annoying beep. Thanks for the tip.

This alert can be disabled as follows: 1. Open VoiceOver Utility using VO + F8. 2. Select Verbosity, from the Categories table, or just press CMD + NumRow 2. 3. Select the Announcements tab, and then navigate to the item labeled, "Play Tone When system dialogs are displayed”. 4. Open the Pop-Up button, and select Do Nothing, if you wish to eliminate the audible alert.
