Hi, I'm Bernard. I'm happy to help!

To remove the audio, open the clock app > click Settings

Turn off "End of session sound" and "End of break sound"

    Windows Clock alarms always use a sound, but the alarm can be effectively silenced by muting or visually replacing the sound with screen flashes and visual notifications.

    Use one of these approaches:

    1. Turn system volume to 0 when the alarm is due
      • Select the Sound icon on the taskbar.
      • Drag the Volume slider to the lowest level (0). This mutes all sounds, including the alarm, while still allowing the alarm toast/notification to appear.
    2. Use visual alternatives to sound
      • Select Start > Settings > Accessibility > Audio.
      • Under Flash my screen during audio notifications, choose how the screen should flash when an audio notification (including alarms) occurs. This gives a visual cue instead of relying on sound.
    3. Make notifications easier to see
      • Select Start > Settings > Ease of Access > Display.
      • Under Show notifications for, increase the time so alarm notifications stay visible longer.

    With volume muted and visual alerts enabled, the alarm will still trigger and show on screen, but no sound will play.
