Disable audio notification sound in Facebook?

Category: Facebook Help

This is something new: When I'm logged in to Facebook I now get an annoying audio beep every time someone posts something new that I follow, or someone comments on something I've commented on, or likes one of my own posts or anything else that would show up in the notifications menu. Blech. How do I disable this annoying notification sound in Facebook?

Add a header graphic to my Twitter profile?

I heard from a colleague that Twitter's added profile pictures a la Facebook's timeline photo on the top. Nice, but how do I set it up for my own Twitter profile from within Tweetdeck or similar?

Stop people posting on my Facebook Timeline?

Category: Facebook Help

Other people might enjoy it, but when friends post on my Facebook Timeline, it really upsets me. It's my timeline and I don't want other people's stuff showing up. If it's my birthday, maybe, but every other day of the year, I want business stuff showing up, not personal things, tagged photos, etc. Is there a way to disable everyone gaining access to my FB timeline?

Dave, before I give up and lose access to the 170 friends I have, can you step me through the basics of the latest -- Dec 2012 -- version of the Facebook privacy settings?
