Remove the pc speaker module "pcspkr"
Open a terminal and issue this command as root:
rmmod pcspkr

# disable the **** pc speaker blacklist pcspkr
Re-enabling the pc speaker
Temporarily activate it by loading the module (run this from a terminal with root privileges):
modprobe pcspkr
If you don't want to prevent the module from loading during startup, delete the lines from /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist described in the previous section.
Disable console beeps in /etc/inputrc
Another solution is to disable console beeps in /etc/inputrc (change with your favourite editor, should work on all distributions)

In Ubuntu 7.10 and later, uncheck:
