How do I stop Windows 7 from making noise every time I do a KVM switch?

Windows 7 knows when I change computers with my KVM switch and it plays a noise. I can't figure out how to shut it off. I can't figure out how to turn off Windows 7 sounds in general.

"What you are probably hearing is the sound that plays when USB devices are connected or disconnected from the system. When you trigger the switch, the computer thinks you are disconnecting and reconnecting your mouse and keyboard, and plays the sound.

The sounds themselves are governed by the ""Device Connect"" and ""Device Disconnect"" program events. You can change or mute the sounds for these events in the Sound control panel."
