Go to the volume mixer in Windows 10 and expand it so that you can see the volumes for all applications. Then just turn off the one that's under Electrum. It really should not be playing sound anyway - I haven't found anything in the source code (so far) that would suggest that is happening, so perhaps it is part of the Windows Sounds that also has to be muted.
You're correct that it's not part of Electrum but my best bet is it's the sound that I've mentioned above.
It's part of Window's alert when the user is clicking outside of the active window which wont be disabled by muting Electrum's sound in Volume Mixer.
I'm guessing that his bot is double-clicking or mis-clicking somehow.

As an addition to my post, it can be muted by setting the "Default Beep" sound to "none" in System Sounds.
Shortcut is in "Search->type and click: change system sounds->Scroll-down and click: Default Beep"; below, replace the default "Windows Background.wav" into "none".

Never heard that electrum has a sound it is more likely a notification sound on Windows 10.

If its windows 10 you can disable the notification sound on the settings>system>notification and action uncheck "allow the notification sound" or look for Electrum under that page and click it you should see the "play sound" then disable it.

If you don't see Electrum there, then it's because it hasn't played any sound yet.

The balance should be displayed at the lower-left without needing to click the "green circle" (when all on-chain confirmed) balance distribution icon.
Also, there shouldn't be any sound associated when closing that window.

Does the sound similar to Window's "Asterisk" sound file? (Google for reference)
Because if so, that'll play in Electrum if you mis-clicked anywhere in Electrum window but outside of that balance window instead of the 'x' icon or 'Close' button.
(try to reproduce it manually)

Hey guys. On my Win10 Electrum wallet, when I click the green circle at the bottom left to bring up the balance. If I close that balance window, it makes a sound. A window closing sound, I guess.

Any way to turn that off? Because I built a bot with AHK and Python to do some trades for me. The bot checks my wallet balance every minute or so. And so I keep hearing that sound all day long every minute.
How so I turn off that window closing sound?
