We all spend so much time on our computer, it’s worth customizing the sounds and events we experience while using it. Today, we’ll cover the topic of changing the USB sound when a USB device is connected. You can really have some fun with this, especially if you consider some of the
USB jokes
mentioned before, and how those jokes might apply when a USB device is shoved into a USB port.
While your mind wanders, I’ll move along to the tutorial part of this post:
In the search field, type in Control Panel and select the Control Panel.
From within the Control Panel, click Hardware and Sound.
From the Sounds category, select Change system sounds.
The window will pop up on the Sound tab. Scroll down through the list of
Program Events until you find Device Connect, then click it once to highlight it.
At this point you have two options. You can navigate down to the Sounds: list of available .wav files already on your computer, or you can click Browse… to select a custom .wav file you have saved.
Once the .wav file is set, click Apply and then OK. Your USB connection sound is now officially changed.
By making this tweak, you’ll quickly see there are many other sound events you can customize on your Windows computer. Have fun with it—and try not to get too disgusting with your sound choices.
