Disabling the system beep.

Ok folks. Here is a quick and easy way to disable the system beep on linux machines... Those of you who know what i'm talking about know how annoying it can be. I couldn't even tolerate it for a half day (and I'm a really patient guy).

The following is an excerpt from ArsGeek.

You can disable this by editing a file and entering two simple lines.

gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

And then add:

#silly speaker beep
blacklist pcspkr

Save your file and the speaker beep will be gone when you reboot.

If you don’t want to wait until a reboot, simply type:

sudo rmmod pcspkr
