What is a system beep on Synology NAS?
The system sound can refer to a few alerts. The OS will note exactly what has been detected on the desktop and Control Panel app. Here’s what the beep could mean:
- The volume has degraded.
- The volume has crashed.
- The SSD cache is abnormal.
- An issue with the cooling fan(s).

- Go to Control Panel > Hardware & Power.
- Scroll down the General tab to Beep Control.

How to disable system beeps on Synology NAS
You can, if desired, disable the system sounds within DiskStation Manager. I wouldn’t recommend this unless you frequently check on the NAS or have it alert you through a different method.
- Go to Control Panel > Hardware & Power.
- Scroll down the General tab to Beep Control.
- Choose which alerts you’d like the NAS to sound a beep for.
This view also shows the reason for a current beep, should one be sounding, as aforementioned. When your NAS sounds an alert, it’s usually best to quickly log in and check all is well.
