Hello y2k, yes, its possible to shut down the sound of ya moderm when dialing.
check the setting of ya moderm..u should be able to find it there.
For Win9x--Also, u may Go to start>>control panel>>Moderm.
Then u should be able to set it from there.
For Winxp--Go to start>>control panel>>Network and Internet Conection, the from here, look towards your left for phone and Moderm options>Moderms>Properties>Moderm>Speaker Volume.
This should surely help you out.
some progams also have control of these properties, like pcanywhere and aol. you have to turn off the speaker volumes in these programs for this to work.
Start>>settings>>controlpanel>>modems:
now click on the modem you want to set the properties of
>>properties>>speaker volume
I fear you may find that the volume control in Win98 is pretty useless. If this is the case then you will have to make a change (set speaker volume to M0) in a modem string to silence the modem. Use the link below for more information on how to accomplish this process, along with a few other handy modem tricks.

i try to go to properties and off the speaker volume but not working, (im currently using win98). but thank to allenb, i surf ur suggestion web right now, hope it working. but if someone have another idea, hope u all post your ideas
If you have one of those modems were you can't turn off the sound with software and you don't mind getting your hands dirty you could rip the little buzzer thing right of the board. A little drastic but once I had a modem that started making I high pitched screeching noise even when not dialing. It came to either throwing out the modem or taking out the buzzer. Always best to try and find a software solution before ripping components out of your board.
It's good to have the sound though, it helps you identify a problem if you cant dail in (eg. were the dailup stops in a sequence), i'd bear with the pain and leave it.
Thanks,
well i had a similar probelem.....
ithe screaching sound wouldnt go even after a successful connection@!!!
my modem worked fine untill i upgraded to winxp.....
i didnt have the drivers for my connaxant internal 56.6k modem ......so i downloaded generic drivers......
and thats when the probelem started.........
i tried all the possible software solutions....none of them helped!
the only solution i had was to take the modem to an engineer and i asked him to disconnect the speakers......
If you are running Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, I would suggest this simple process.
More InformationQuote:
To stop hearing that irritating modem squeal as it connects to the internet, and not often now how it's done. For an external modem it's easy - simply turn the volume down.
But for an internal, or external that doesn't have a volume control, modem it's a little more tricky.
Firstly, click Start/Settings/ControlPanel then double click the modems icon.
Select your modem and click on the properties button.
On the general tab look for "Speaker Volume". Click and hold your left mouse button over the slide control and move it to OFF. However, this doesn't work for all modems.
If you are in that situation then you will need to use a modem AT command.
To do this, click on the Advance Settings button. Then type the appropriate AT command for your modem.
This incidentally is where you put your Init string if you have one. Init strings I will discuss in a later article.
So, which AT command to use. Here's a list of AT commands that will control your modems sound levels.
AT COMMAND Modem volume effect
ATM0 No sound
ATM1 Modem makes noise until connection is made
ATM2 Modem makes sound whenever in use
ATM3 No dialing sounds, but modem makes noise until connection is established
