I get really annoyed with that pc speaker beeping every time I hit <TAB> in shell.  Heres how to get rid of it from your current running kernel:

sudo modprobe -r pcspkr snd_pcsp

And heres how to prevent it coming back at reboot:

sudo echo "blacklist pcspkr" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
sudo echo "blacklist snd_pcsp" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

Simple, yet effective. Hope this helps
