Is there any way to disable the sound that sounds when a messageBox shows?

There is a way - you have to show the MessageBox using XNA

There are a few articles around -

You need to play with the MessageBoxIcon method:

MessageBoxIcon is in fact not an icon (yeah, I know - the name says so). On Windows Phone 7, it will define the short sound that will accompany the message. And here you have several choices: Alert, None, Error, Warning

However, be warned that using the XNA methods is slightly awkward as they are non-blocking methods (and you may also have to look at how they interact with the back button too)

Some people have also written their own messagebox - e.g. http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/tomershamam/archive/2010/10/19/windows-phone-7-custom-message-box.aspx

One hint for the marketplace acceptance - make sure that the popup is cleared when you press the back button. – Stuart Mar 10 '11 at 22:10

At this time, there is no way for the user to disable this sound and there is no way as a developer to disable this sound either.
