Receiving the "DING" chime when using Alt+Tab to toggle between open worksbooks

I have recently encountered an annoying problem with MS
Excel 2000. When I use Alt+Tab to toggle between open
workbooks, I receive the Windows default "DING" sound.

This usually would indicate to me that I am attempting an
incorrect keystroke, function or operation within Excel.
There does not appear to be any type of conflict or error
occurring when I receive the alert, but I am starting to
get annoyed with it.

Does someone have a simple solution other than turning
the "DING" off altogether? It is often a helpful tool.

I'm not sure if this applies. But windows can play sounds based on events. I
use win98 and didn't see an event for swapping applications (but maybe your
version of windows supports this).

Windows start button
Settings|control Panel|Sounds Applet

You'll see a bunch of events there. Maybe one will jump out at you.
