HowTo – Disable the system beep from CLI in Ubuntu 8.10
My previous posting is no longer valid. Gnome has removed the tab for the sounds menu where you can use the gui to disable the system beep. Here’s how you can disable this from the CLI.
sudo rmmod pcspkr
Done deal. If you want your system beep back, well first off…curse you if I sit next to you. Type in the following to enable it:
sudo modprobe pcspkr
got this from: lifehacker (per usual)

Great post, very useful. I spent half an hour hunting through the control center looking for the option that used to be there. Thirty seconds on your site and I was done. I can’t imagine why they’d remove something like that…
Thanks, I’m glad it helped you out. I can’t stand the pc speaker beep in Ubuntu. It is especially frustrating when you’re running a program presented by Citrix.
Let me know if you need help with something else.
Thanks!
I hate this fucking beep!
