The "Ding" sound if no text selected for hotkey

[wwwjfy]

The situation is: A hotkey is created, with Argument: Selected text in OS X, then if nothing is selected when it's triggered, there is a "ding".

 

As I understand, that's the sound from when you press command-c to copy something, but nothing selected, and I guess Alfred gets the selected text from the same way.

 

So I wonder if there is any way to get around it, it's kind of noisy.

My current way is to mute "Alert volume" in Sound in System Preferences

I don't see any downside so far

Hey,

 

Quite an old topic but just wondering if you found any other solution to that. The alert sound can be quite useful sometimes so I would prefer to keep it on….

Unfortunately no. I also turned on the alert, and I didn't trigger it much, so I can tolerant..

Yes a bit annoying… I changed the sound to a more pleasant click...
