For some users, it's annoying and even intrusive when adjusting volume to have that gray box appear in the middle of the display. In previous versions of OS X, this could be resolved by renaming the BezelUIServer file. In El Capitan, the file cannot be renamed or deleted, even by the root user. Any thoughts?

You can either get over it or disable SIP, change the file, then re-enable SIP.

However, I don't know if the changes will cause problems, but I doubt it.

Here's a better way. I was searching for a Preference setting, but couldn't find the necessary setting.
The next best thing would be disabling the service which can be done with this code in Terminal
launchctl unload -wF /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.BezelUI.plistThis will unload the service, and the -w option tells it to write the bit that keeps it from loading on restart/login. the -F option is to force the setting.
You can reload it with this:
launchctl load -wF /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.BezelUI.plist
Awesome! I tried the second option first, but couldn't get it to work. The first option worked perfectly. Thank you much!
