You can go to Tools --> Options --> Email Options --> Advanced Email Options and then uncheck the box that says Play a Sound

"There are several ways of doing it. Check out HowToGeek for a walkthrough.

Disable the beep driver in device manager.
Go to device manager
Hit View->Show hidden devices
Find ""Beep"" under ""Non plug and play drivers""
Right click and goto properties
On the ""Driver"" tab change the startup type to ""Disabled""
Disable the beep in the registry.
Set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Sound\Beep to ""no""
Disable the beep in the sounds control panel app.
In the sounds control panel app, on the sounds tab
Find the ""Default Beep"" sound and set it to ""none""

I've found that disabling the driver in device manager is the most system wide effective way."
