Tmux makes a sound when I launch it, how could I disable that?

Question

When I launch tmux in the terminal, is causes my Linux Mint to play a sound in the speakers.

The sound is a Linux Mint system sound. Perhaps it's the "alert" sound, but I cannot identify it by name.

The same alert sound plays when I exit tmux.

Any ideas on how to disable this sound when tmux is launched?

Try setting either bell-on-alert [on | off] (off) or bell-action [any | none | current] (none). There's visual-bell [on | off] also.

	Dang, none of them made a difference. For example, I set `set-option bell-on-alert off` in `~/.tmux.conf`. – eoinoc Jun 24 '12 at 15:51

	@eoinoc, It's really annoying issue looking like a bug, actually… – poige Jun 26 '12 at 14:31
	Oh, interesting if that's a tmux bug. – eoinoc Jun 27 '12 at 17:33
