5 Click the Diagnostic tab, then click Query Modem. If information

The modem is noisy when it dials and connects
When your modem tries to connect to another modem, it begins
handshaking. Handshaking is a digital “getting acquainted” conversation
between the two modems that establishes connection speeds and
communication protocols. You may hear unusual handshaking sounds
when the modems first connect. If the handshaking sounds are too loud,
you can turn down the modem volume.
To turn down the modem volume:
1 Click Start, then click Control Panel. The Control Panel window
opens. If your Control Panel is in Category View, click

3 Click the modem you want to adjust, then click Properties.
4 Click the Modem tab, then adjust the Speaker volume control.
