      How do I turn off the startup sound for pfSense 2.2 as well as the beep every time I login?

        System > Advanced, Notifications tab for startup/shutdown
        System > Advanced, Admin Access tab, check "Disable logging of webConfigurator successful logins" to stop the login beep.

        Or just pull the speaker/peizo.

          If you have other sounds sounding for events like connections blocked for snort of pfBlocker, going to Diagnostics -> Command Prompt and typing:

          sysctl hw.syscons.bell=0

          Will disable sound for all events.

            Yeah that works too.

            I added all these to the wiki:
