Why does this script beep at me :-(

Question

Writing a script that creates job folders and duplicates files, all works great, but when I save the script as an application, I get a beep after every file is copied.
Perhaps I am doing something wrong, so I created a test script just that just copies files and the same thing happens, when I run it the files get copied, and at the end it beeps once, save it as an application, the files get copied, but I get four beeps.
this is sample script:
-- move file test
tell application "Finder"
set FromFolder to "Macintosh HD:Users:cls:Scripts Test Center:NewJob:MoveFromFiles:"
set ToFolder to "Macintosh HD:Users:cls:Scripts Test Center:NewJob:MoveToFiles:"
set FileName to "NewJob1.txt"
set MvFile1 to FromFolder & FileName
set FileName to "NewJob2.txt"
set MvFile2 to FromFolder & FileName
set FileName to "test1.tif"
set MvFile3 to FromFolder & FileName
set FileName to "test2.tif"
set MvFile4 to FromFolder & FileName
duplicate file MvFile1 to ToFolder
duplicate file MvFile2 to ToFolder
duplicate file MvFile3 to ToFolder
duplicate file MvFile4 to ToFolder
end tell
as I said this is just a test, my original intent is to copy files from different locations, but this test has the same one beep per file after saving as an application.
Can I turn off the beep, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

Hi ErstO. Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You can hear a beep even when you duplicate a file with ⌘D in the Finder. That's normal. Try this:
*set FromFolder to "Macintosh HD:Users:cls:Scripts Test Center:NewJob:MoveFromFiles:"*
*set ToFolder to "Macintosh HD:Users:cls:Scripts Test Center:NewJob:MoveToFiles:"*
*set MvFile1 to FromFolder & "NewJob1.txt"*
*set MvFile2 to FromFolder & "NewJob2.txt"*
*set MvFile3 to FromFolder & "test1.tif"*
*set MvFile4 to FromFolder & "test2.tif"*
*set volume with output muted* -- StandardAdditions.osax > Miscellaneous Commands
*tell application "Finder"*
*   duplicate file MvFile1 to folder ToFolder* -- the word folder is required before the path
*   duplicate file MvFile2 to folder ToFolder*
*   duplicate file MvFile3 to folder ToFolder*
*   duplicate file MvFile4 to folder ToFolder*
*end tell*
*delay 1* -- should be enough
*set volume without output muted*
Hope it can help.
(The script seems to work even without the word folder being put before the ToFolder path. However, if you open the Event Log History window after having run the script, you will see a huge difference.)
