For console terminals, you can use setterm to change some of the
characteristics of the bell/beep... My manpage is rather limited, but
setting the length of the bell to 0 makes it go away. (setterm -blength 0)
>From X, you can use xset to turn the bell off... xset b off.
There may be better ways to do it, but these seem like the logical way. :)
Hope that helps!
