Inappropriate alert bell.

When I drop files from folders to desktop, and visa versa, I get an alert bell, a sound a bit like a muted version of "basso" even though in preferences I have set my alert bell to "blow." Is this a false alert? How can I change it? I am constantly dropping files onto desktop, and it is becoming very annoying.

System Preferences -> Sound, turn off user interface sound effects.

I think my stupidity is being overestimated. Perhpas I am to blame, but I was not asking how to change my sound effects' Preferences. That I do know how to do. My question was: Why there is an "alert" bell in the first place? To "alert" me that I am moving a file from a folder onto desktop? Or is the alert bell telling me that my computer not like this command? My iBook never complained.

No idea. That's a new one.

It's just a little aural feedback to let you know the copy is done. It's a separate entity from your alert sound.

I see. But is it possible to change this sound from the ugly "basso" horn my computer is making? When I have my speakers turned up it's grating as hell.
(Altering "Alert" in Sound Effects / System Preferences has no effect.)

Not to my knowledge, but there's probably a hack somewhere that'll do it.
