Turn off System Beep on Linux

This is from the opensuse wiki (source: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Firefox_started_beeping):


You can also turn off the "beep" sound system wide by editing:

/etc/inputrc

using your favorite text editor (vi, pico, mcedit..) and add:

set bell-style none

Additionally create a file:

touch /etc/bash.bashrc.local

and add the following:

setterm -blength 0
