Description

IPython rings the "critical stop" sound available on Windows 10 when pressing backspace on an empty line which is really quite annoying. My system information is below:

{'commit_hash': 'd0b255042',
'commit_source': 'installation',
'default_encoding': 'utf-8',
'ipython_version': '7.13.0',
'os_name': 'nt',
'platform': 'Windows-10-10.0.18362-SP0',
'sys_platform': 'win32',
'sys_version': '3.7.6 (default, Jan 8 2020, 20:23:39) [MSC v.1916 64 bit '
'(AMD64)]'}

It seems that the issue has been brought up previously, but I guess it's a rare issue seeing as how little attention was given to it. I've linked the two I could find.
- https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/11626
- https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/python-prompt-toolkit/issues/363

For the moment, I can simply mute the cmd window, but I was wondering if there was a setting I could set to permanently disable this.
