It works fine here Mike. Is there some strange character that might
have crept in? Are you trying to do another AppleScript at the same
time?

You might like to test it in a button, perhaps making it two lines:

on mouseUp
   put "set volume alert volume 0" into tAS
   do tAS as AppleScript
end mouseUp

Cheers,

P.S. I notice that the System Preference display does not update live.
You have to go to a different pane and then back to Sound to get it to
show the new setting.
