You may have noticed that when you mute your Zoom or Microsoft Teams softphone meeting from your headset, you hear beeps. This sound is coming from the headset, not from your softphone program.
Not all headsets give you mute notification noises, but for headsets that do, we have a work-around!
Note: With many headsets, muting Teams will also mute the headset. If this is the case, and your headset has a mute beep function, there isn't currently a way to get rid of the beeps unless you're able to change the mute settings in the headset's software (for Sennheiser headset mute beep settings, check out this article)
Getting around the mute beeps with Leitner
The beeping noise will only happen if you mute the headset by pressing the mute button on the headset itself! This means you can bypass these sounds by hitting the mute button in Zoom, Teams, RingCentral, or whatever softphone program you are using, you will just have to be at the computer to unmute it later.
Many Zoom and Teams users have made the switch to the Leitner LH570! It only beeps once every 5 minutes while on mute. Otherwise it stays nice and quiet.
This noise-cancelling wireless headset will connect to your computer's USB port and run all of the computer's microphone and speaker sound it right through the headset. No downloads are necessary to make this headset work with your computer. And it comes with a 5 year warranty!

I use Aftershokz and the beeping is on no matter what! I have turned the mute on with Zoom, but I still have the beeping sound.
