The modem is noisy when it dials and connects
When your modem tries to connect to another modem, it
begins handshaking. Handshaking is a digital “getting
acquainted” conversation between the two modems that
establishes connection speeds and communication protocols.
You may hear unusual handshaking sounds when the modems
first connect. If the handshaking sounds are too loud, you can
turn down the modem volume.
To turn down the modem volume:
1
Click Start, then click Control Panel. The Control
Panel window opens. If your Control Panel is in
Category View, click Printers and Other Hardware.
2
Click/Double-click the Phone and Modem Options
icon, then click the Modems tab.
3
Click the modem you want to adjust, then click
Properties.
4
Click the Modem tab, then adjust the Speaker
volume control.
5
Click OK twice to close the Phone and Modem
Options dialog box.
