How to remove the sound played when focus is transferred to an uneditable JTextComponent

Question

How can I get rid of the sound when I give focus to an uneditable JTextField or JTextPane?

Whenever I transfer focus to a JTextPane which is uneditable and hit Enter, a sound plays which is equals to the "beep" of the Toolkit class:

Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit.beet();

How can I make it play no sound?

You might be able to try the idea from this question, quoted:

The idea is to get the beep action for the text field and disabling it.

JTextField field = new JTextField();
Action action;
action = field.getActionMap().get(DefaultEditorKit.beepAction);
action.setEnabled(false);

If that does not work, you can try to add a KeyListener, that would consume the KeyEvent that causes the beep.

JTextField textField = new JTextField();
textField.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
  @Override
  public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
    if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ENTER){
      // will consume the event and stop it from processing normally
      e.consume();
    }        
  }
});
