Every time my phone rings, my MacBook Pro plays a ringtone. I'm often working with my phone off, but it still rings on the computer. How do I turn off ringtones on the MacBook? Thanks!
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)

It sounds as if you have Continuity turned on allowing your MacBook to receive phone calls made to your iPhone, among other things. To turn this off, follow the steps in this article -

Is there a way to still get the note in the corner and be able to take and make calls from my computer, but to just turn off the ringtone for incoming calls, without muting the entire computer? Thanks!
