Windows 10: Annoying Notification sound...how to stop it, when it's not listed?

Folks,

I run Macrium backup on my PC. It runs a scheduled backup at either 0200 and/or 0400, depending on the schedule and the type of backup (full or incremental).

Running Win10, 1903, v 18362.239 (and in all previously installed versions, about 2 or 3 years' worth), Macrium ALWAYS gives an audible "windows chime" when it starts and completes its backup.

The "Notifications & actions" settings page does NOT SHOW Macrium. (It dropped out when I upgraded from 1809 to 1903???)

Even when it showed Macrium, I had Macrium set ONLY to "Banners". There should be NO SOUND, NO CHIME.

Yet, every day at 0200 (if applicable) and at 0400, my machine lets out a loud "boing" chime.

How do I get rid of this annoyance?

Why is there a notification for something not listed in my notification settings? (Yes, I want to SEE that it backed up, but I don't want to get awakened by the sound.)

Thanks,

Ken

Yeah, thats not a solution she is interested in......I've suggested that course of action. Thanks though.

Just to clarify, I feel that there MUST be a step, or series of steps to turn off JUST the wireless notification sound. Thats what Im driving @ here.
