@tetoculus Excellent! that worked (needed to upgrade to Win11 first...).
@MetaQuestSupport It is not noise, it is supposed to be background "music" that cannot be turned off. So, it is basically a badly designed feature - it is nice for first 15seconds, but then you would like to turn it off - and there is no settings to do that... And it is in Link Dashboard (homescreen when you are connected to a PC)
Hey everyone. I spoke again with the engineering team about this feature. The best option that they recommend is to make posts on the Ideas Page of the forums about this feature. If enough people make posts about this feature, it could get enough developers to look at this idea, which can have the possibility of being implemented for future updates. Other posts from the Ideas Page have later been used for past updates, so this could do the same.

I found a solution that worked with my setup: Meta Quest Pro connected via PCVR link cable.
Adjust the "Dash" volume slider in your windows sound mixer
While in the PCVR "home" environment (pronounced: the void) where the ambient music loops, open a window to your Desktop from the Dash and turn the volume up a little bit (it will help in the next steps).
Open Volume Mixer: Right-click the Sound icon on the Windows taskbar and select 'Volume Mixer'.
Find the "Dash" application that is registering audio, it is different from the "Headphones (Oculus Virtual Audio Device)". In the mixer, locate the slider for "Dash" and adjust the volume to 0.
The ambient dash music should now be gone and sound from everywhere else should still work.
Finally, I am rid of that god-forsaken ambient loop. Sweet relief!
I remouved the Rift sprekers but the Rift sofware send the sound in my wirell headset. I try to turn it off, then mute in the Oculus software but as soon as I touch the volome on my head set then the stupid sound start all over agan. I feel to sell the Rift to get someting else
From your Oculus home press the small left controller menu button. Go to Preferences/audio and adjust or mute background music and maybe also sound effects. This works for me with 12.1.

I found that the sound comes from "Oculus home" Even whan all muted, each time I open Oculus app, I have to go in Oculus home, then the anoying sound stop. Is theire any way to simply not lais Oculus home?

Ya, go to your Oculus desktop app settings tab. At the bottom disable start in oculus home slider. Next time you startup you will be homeless.

If you open Volume Mixer in Windows, you can turn the volume right down on the Oculus App - seems to make it go away. It is dumb of Meta to have put this on, no one wants it and there appears to be no option to remove it in the app.
I haven't tried this, but boy Meta is really running the whole experience for its users. Over something so stupid. Why wouldn't they make that an obvious on and off switch in settings. So weird and annoying!
Yeah, it's outrageous that they can't do a simple switch in the settings to solve tha problem that annoys so many users... Anyway I found my way to solve it, but it requires a bit of audio editing. There are two audio files here: Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-dash\dash\assets\raw\audio_dash\Assets
"mus_void_ambisonic.wav" and "GNux_Background_Loop_v2_ambix_1.wav" - just open them with any audio editor, turn down the volume to 0 and save - no more annoying background music.
In similar way you can also change this bright background in Oculus Link - edit "grid_plane_006.dds" texture here: Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-dash\dash\assets\raw\textures\environment\the_void
I prefer a plain black background without any noise or music. I hope that they add this option to settings one day, because I have to repeat all these manipulations after every update.
