How to Identify Annoying Sound Alerts in NT7? Having several Workspaces open using the same template including a bunch of indicators, keep hearing this annoying door bell sound alert. I have checked all the indicators for any sound alert settings, but no luck. I know the process of elimination will work, but this annoying sound alert disappears for a while then comes back, no telling when will it come back, driving me crazy. If I know the .wav file name, I will delete it.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on futures io?

Thanks Silvester17, Alert4 rings a bell now What do you mean by "locate it with the alert window"? Do you mean on the list of parameters (true, false), or list of sound files?

You are the MAN and the life saver. This is definitely the trick for finding the culprit. It's funny, in all these years I have never used this feature in Ninja. I'm going to look and see what else I have been missing.
Thanks a whole bunch!!!

They are mostly yours on 6 different monitors, perhaps you can combine all those anas into one mothership indicator, it will make life a lot easier
Just kidding, the culprit is the Price Action Swing with all its bells and whistles. I use it only to mark HH and LL pivots on the chart until I find a better and simpler indicator (hint hint).
Cheers!
@Fat Tails, found another obscure door bell culprit, anaBarTimer
The following user says Thank You to aligator for this post:
I have 3 brand new charts with no indicators whatsoever on ant of them but I am getting the dreaded doorbell - driving my wife crazy.
I get it on my other workspace with indicators too but have got all audio alerts off.
I have checked the new alerts file and it is empty?
Any further suggestions?
Call Avon?
go to this folder \Program Files (x86)\NinjaTrader 7\sounds, delete Alert4. That will keep the bell off until it reload itself the next time you open NT again.
Hi.
Thanks for the reply.
I do have other workspaces but only the new workspace charts are visible.
How do you know if others are still running in the background?
Cheers
Hi.
Thanks for the reply.
So really?
So all saved workspaces, even though the charts are not open, are actually running?
I get it.
I save quite a few in case Ninja crashes which it has a habit of doing with Noft Dynamic Volume Indi.. I will get rid of the majority then.
Thanks.
I get that obnoxious loud alert as soon as I open up Ninjatrader, and I don't even have a workspace or chart open. Sometimes I get a bunch of them right on startup. I have no idea what it's trying to tell me, because nothing is open!
