Sreen unlock sound | Login sound

There is a sound that plays every time I unlock my MacBook or login, I can't find anywhere to disable it (I have turned off all the sound settings I could find. Any idea how I can turn it off without putting the whole device on mute?

Thanks for getting back to us with that information, lindelwe. It's appreciated. Since your Mac is up to date, let's take a deeper look.


Turn the Mac startup sound on or off - Apple Support -- Did you turn off "Play sound on startup" in Apple menu () > System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects? If you have, turn off "Play user interface sound effects" as well and restart your Mac: Log out, sleep, wake, restart, or shut down your Mac - Apple Support 


Please let us know the results when you're able by replying to this post.


All the best.

Hello lindelwe,


We recommend testing the sound you're hearing in safe mode: How to use safe mode on your Mac


If the behavior continues, try testing in a different user account to further isolate: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac


If the above doesn't help, let us know the following:


1.) What macOS version are you running?


2.) Have you installed any new apps lately that may be causing the sound?


Regards.

To Clarify:

How would you define this sound? Is it a click? A tap? A ding? Perhaps it is a spec of a third-party app you installed?
