How do I remove the "whoosh" sound effect?

I recently downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and I like the added features but I'm getting annoyed by what seems to be random "whoosh" noises. How can I disable this sound effect? Thanks a bunch! kmart69

Try this System Preferences>Sounds>Sound Effects tab and deselect 'Play user interface sound effects'.
If it's in Mail go to Mail>Preferences>General tab and you can control sounds there (independently of the above suggestion).
I expect other applications may also have there own Sound Preferences that can be modified on an app to app basis.

  • How can I remove the background sound from the headphone jack for my MacBoo

    for my MacBook Air problem adding music intensifier (Panasonic ST-HT1000) to give it an unpleasant sound background that sounds like a whiz, it's not so loud, but it is an unpleasant .. after a short time can get used to, but the fizz does not pass, however, believe that it is a big problem.
    Further I notice that when MacBookAir disconnected from the charger, it remains quieter sound.
    At first thought that the headphone jack (3.5 mm Headphone:
    Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack) or wiere have problem, but tried 3 different cables, but that does change enything, the problem remains.
    When I added iPhonu3GS playing - the background sound were not, then everything is OK!

    There is no way to bring that up unless you have it typed in a document. You can use My Support Profile to find a list of serial numbers that have been purchased or registered with your Apple ID.

  • How do you remove the pop sound in between looped samples?

    I have recently purchased the thor synthesiser for use with Garageband on the ipad. When I record a bassline and then loop it, There is an audible pop/click noise as sample repeats.This is really annoying as its an obvious impurity in the sound. I have the same problem looping recordings made using the ikaossilator.
    Does anyone know an easy way to get round this? Or any way at all?
    Many thanks
    Dan

    The pop at the end/beginning of a loop occurs when you don't have a "zero point" at the end of the sample, i.e. when it's not quiet or at least the audio wave is zero at this point so it can pick up seamlessly. Try to play your sample so that this is the case!

  • Removing the JButton press effect

    Hi,
    How can I remove the button press effect of JButton. I tried removing the borders and making the contentAreafilled property false; but nothing worked. Can anyone help me out.? I want to render this button in JTable
    Regards
    Clefies D S'ouza

    If you're talking about disabling a button's ability to respond to mouse clicks:
    The safest way to prevent a button from working would be to disable it like so:
        myButton.setEnabled(false);There are other ways to make a button not respond to the mouse but yet not change the appearance. One way (and I'm not sure how "safe" this is) would be to override the button's processMouseEvent method, for example:
            JButton myButton = new JButton("My Button")
                @Override
                protected void processMouseEvent(MouseEvent e)
                    if (allowMouseClick)  // a boolean variable in the program that turns button on and off
                        super.processMouseEvent(e);
            };Again, I'm not sure if the latter is kosher, but when I've tried it, it works. Also, this does not prevent the button from getting focus, nor does it disable the space bar from "pressing" the button.

  • How do I remove the background from a movie / sound problems

    Apologies, not really sure what I’m doing…
    How do I remove the background from a movie I made?
    I imported a QT movie at 368/272 pixels, but for whatever
    reason the HTML jumps up to 550/400.
    The movie is still 368/272 but there is a background border
    making it 550/400. Tried all sorts of settings in Publish but
    can’t get rid of it. Can I keep the movie (and controller)
    and not the background?
    I can get round it by changing the background colour, but
    surely there must be another way.
    Also: My QT file was fine but the .flv has a stuttering
    sound, any idea what could cause that?
    Thanks, and Thanks!

  • How do I remove the sound from a video project and replace with music...?

    Hi there to all...I would like to know how you remove the original sound from a movie (using iMovie) so you dont hear it through any music added...?

    Select the video clip and open the clip inspector to the video tab. You can set the volume slider to zero.
    You can apply this to a bunch of clips at once.
    Do the first one.
    Then Edit/Copy.
    Then Select the clips to apply it to by select while holding command key. (or EDIT/SELECT ALL to get all clips)
    Then EDIT/PASTE ADJUSTMENTS/AUDIO ADJUSTMENTS

    Just wondering ... can you then add other background music ... and not use the audio recorded from the camera at all?
    Yes. You can add your own audio either to the background of several clips or "pin" it to a single clip.

  • How do I removed the downloaded music from my ipad in the Music app with effecting icloud music?

    My music was taking up too much space so I joined itunes match, but the 6 gigs of my music is still on my ipad. How do I removed the downloaded music from my ipad in the Music app without affecting icloud music? I clicked to replace all music with icloud music. They both appear in Music and I don't see anywhere to remove all downloaded music. If I delete all music, I fear it will delete all music in iCloud. I assumed by joining iTunes Match that I would get the 6 gigs back for other items since my music should be on iCloud now. If that is not the case then I need to get my $ back for Match.

    Removing music from an iOS device does not remove it from the cloud.
    Go to Settings > General > Usage and tap Music (you may need to scroll down in the list). Swipe across "all music" and tap DELETE.

  • Using Mac, how do I remove the hiss (noise floor)?

    Using Mac, how do I remove the hiss (noise floor)?

    Hi!  Well, at the most simple, Audition has a noise reduction effect...try Effects/Noise Reduction/Restoration/Noise Reduction (Process).  Highlight a short section of your clip featuring just noise, not any sounds you want to keep.  Turn the amount of NR down on the sliders to, say, 20% and the Reduction to, say, 10dB, hit "Select Entire File" and Okay it.  If the noise is bad, you're best off to do several passes at low processing settings.  Turn up the FFT size (on the Advanced menu) and grab a new noise sample between each process.  FYI, the reason for doing it 3 or 4 times with small increments is that it results in a lot fewer unpleasant artefacts.
    However, as others have said, use of Noise Reduction should be a last ditch option, not a normal part of the process.  I have 3 different M Audio interfaces now and none give me enough noise to worry about.  As a first guess from your description I wonder if it's your microphone that's noisy and, if so, no amount of playing is likely to fix it...the noise goes up and down along with the programme material as you adjust the levels.
    So...a bit more info and maybe we can make some suggestions for you.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off".

  • How do i remove the 17 errors that come with the pricing userexit manual at

    how do i remove the 17 errors that come with the pricing userexit manual attached code...

    Try connecting the phone to the computer in "data storage" or "data transfer" mode, then open the memory card folder in Windows Explorer, and search the sounds there. If you can't see them, go to "Tools>Folder Options>View>Files and Folders>Hidden files and folders" and select "Show hidden files and folders". But I think that it would be a lot easyer just to remove them from the playlist manualy.

  • I can't make a? with out an E popping up??? How do I remove the E?

    I can't make a? with out an E popping up??? How do I remove the E?

    This does not sound like a Thunderbird problem. It sounds like a keyboard problem.
    Are you saying that you can use that same keyboard in '''any program''' eg: Word etc and you press 'a' key and get an 'a' printed but when you use Thunderbird to compose an email suddenly the 'a' key prints and 'E' ?
    I would have expected that this keyboard issue would apply to any program , Notepad, Word, etc.
    Check you have the correct language selected for the keyboard.
    'Control Panel' > 'Regional & Language Options' > 'Keyboards & Languages' tab

  • How do I remove the "distributed" and "response" file from my form?

    I created a form for my clients to fill out.  I want to be able to post the form on my website so the client can download the form, edit it, save it, print it if they like, and email it to me manually.  I do NOT want the form to have a submit button, nor do I wish to have the responses tracked.
    Currently I have a form that is set up like that.  How can I remove the criteria in the form that is responsible for emailing me as well as tracking the response file?  I want to the form to just be void of any link to my email as well as any response file on my end. 
    Would greatly appreciate if anyone can help...
    Thank you,
    Vincent

    For some odd reason, Acrobat Standard does not allow you to edit document-level JavaScripts, so you have to use an alternative approach.
    The first thing to do is find the hidden button and make it visible. To do this, select the Select Object tool, which is a black arrow pointing to the upper-left. When the tool is active, you should see the previously hidden button on the first page:
    Double-click the button and go to the General tab and set the Form Field dropdown in the Common Properties area to Visible. Then go to the Actions tab and delete the "Run a JavaScript' action for the Mouse Up trigger. Then add a new JavaScript action for the Mouse Up trigger and enter the following two lines of code in the editor:
    getAnnot(0, "adhocFormState").destroy();
    addScript("FormsWorkflowScript", "//");
    Then close the dialog, select the Hand tool, and click the button. This will effectively get rid of the document-level JavaScript and the hidden text annotation. You can now delete the button by selecting it with the Select Object tool again, and hit the Delete key, or right-click > Delete
    That should do it.
