Open **Word 2016**.  \n2. Click on the **File** tab in the ribbon (top-left corner).  \n3. Select **Options** (usually near the bottom of the File menu).  \n4.

Under the **Feedback Options** section, check the box for **Provide feedback with sound**. ([makeuseof.com](https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/turn-off-annoying-sounds-microsoft-office-2016/?utm_source=openai))  \n6. (Optional) Choose a sound theme: you might get options like **Modern** or **Classic** in the **Sound Theme** dropdown. ([makeuseof.com](https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/turn-off-annoying-sounds-microsoft-office-2016/?utm_source=openai))  \n7. Click **OK** to save your settings and turn on sound feedback. ([solveyourtech.com](https://www.solveyourtech.com/provide-feedback-sound-excel-2016/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### \u26a0\ufe0f Things to Know / Troubleshooting\n\n- This setting affects **all Office apps** (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) that support sound feedback. Enabling or disabling it in Word will apply to the others. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/getting-started-with-office-sounds-49fda9be-cce5-4c72-a87f-b11000197f5f?utm_source=openai))  \n- The \u201cProvide feedback with sound\u201d feature **does not apply** to system error/pop-up sounds\u2014you\u2019ll control those through Windows sound settings. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/getting-started-with-office-sounds-49fda9be-cce5-4c72-a87f-b11000197f5f?utm_source=openai))  \n- If you don\u2019t see the \u201cEase of Access\u201d tab or the sound options, your version of Office might not be updated to a release that includes this feature. Checking for updates could help. ([learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5103824/i-would-like-to-enable-the-provide-feedback-with-s?utm_source=openai))  \n- Make sure your computer\u2019s overall sound settings are enabled (volume up, not muted, speakers or headphones working), or you will hear nothing even after enabling feedback. ([erinwrightwriting.com](https://erinwrightwriting.com/sound-effects-in-microsoft-word/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me whether you\u2019re on Windows 10 or 11 (or which build of Office 2016 you\u2019re using), I can double-check in case your layout is slightly different."
