The modem is noisy when it dials and connects
When your modem tries to connect to another modem, it begins handshaking.
Handshaking is a digital “getting acquainted” conversation between the two
modems that establishes connection speeds and communication protocols.
You may hear unusual handshaking sounds when the modems first connect.
If the handshaking sounds are too loud, you can turn down the modem
volume.
To turn down the modem volume in Windows XP:
1 Click Start, then select Control Panel. If you do not see the Phone and
Modem Options
icon, click Switch to Classic View.
2 Click/double-click the Phone and Modem Options icon, then click the
Modems tab.
3 Select the modem you want to adjust, then click Properties.
4 Click the Modem tab, then adjust the Speaker volume control.
5 Exit Phone and Modem Options by clicking OK twice.
To turn down the modem volume in Windows Me and Windows 98:
1 Click Start, then select Settings, then Control Panel. If you do not see
the
Modems icon, click view all control panel options.
2 Double-click the Modems icon. The Modems Properties dialog box
appears.
3 Click the General tab, select your modem, then click Properties.
4 Adjust the Speaker volume control.
5 Click OK.
