Same here, but I can't figure out how to fix my main annoyance with the WSL: deactivating the bell!!! There is no reason for my computer to be making noises when I'm using tab completion!!!!!!!!!!

Have you tried this?

To disable beep of the bash you need to uncomment/add set bell-style none in your /etc/inputrc file

To disable beep of programs like vim (I've tested only with that) you need to create - if it's not already there - a .bash_profile and add setterm -blength 0

Thanks! Had the same exact problem that annoyed the shit out of me!

Turning off the bell in default Putty settings is the first thing I do on a new install.
