It's very annoying to hear BEEPs for every impossible completions or errors when you're working in a shell!

Solutions

Temporary Solution

Simply, from a graphical interface, run this command:

xset -b

That's the solution to stop the biiiiiiiiiiiiiip :-)

Permanent Solution

If you want a long-term solution! Add this line to the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file:

blacklist pcspkr

This will disable all PC speaker sounds (startup, shutdown...). Pure bliss!
