Disabling System Beep

Question

I'm trying to disable the beeping that my swing application is doing. I've searched the forum and I've found where you subclass the WToolkit and implement a do nothing on the beep method. I've also set the system property. However, it's still beeping. I've placed my customized toolkit in the same package as my JFrame.
package framework.globalwindow;
import sun.awt.windows.WToolkit;
public class ToolkitMvr extends WToolkit
public void beep()
}My JFrame does the following
System.setProperty("awt.toolkit", "framework.globalwindow.ToolkitMvr");But my application still beeps.
If I do a System.out.println on getToolkit of my JFrame, I get the sun.awt.windows.WToolkit class name back. That leaves me to think that my setProperty isn't correct. I've played with it but I'm unable to get it to work. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Yigit,
Thanks for grabbing my attention on this...
r4z0r,
Is this the beep / alarm that occurs when your battery drops to 10%(?).    
We've raised these issues to development on other models and so we can do on this one as well.  Typically the update is to disable this function through a future bios update.
Updates can take a few weeks.
In the meantime, you might check in BIOS under the configuration tab for Power Beep, which can be set to disable.  See if this mutes the beep, or only mutes the beep that occurs when you plug / unplug AC while the system is running.  
Best regards,
Mark
