So is there anyway to shut off that annoying beep whenever friends sign on?

It is so annoying when you have a friend that switches toons back and forth all the time....it can really drive you crazy.

I have read some posts that say to go to Interface>Battle.net> and turn off Broadcast Updates, but that does nothing to the sound of the beep.

Can someone please help me? :(

There is a sound when a friend logs in and out, though I won't know if I'd call it a beep. Like a "shunt" sound with a "ting". Does that sound about right, Trippi?

Is that happening for just friends or RealID/BattleTag friends?

I'm not aware of any way to return that off within the default UI for just friends. But I thought the option in the interface could turn off the Battle.net/BattleTag notifications.

You may want to check the Macro & UI forum to see if there is an addon or other option to do that.
