Complete remove on Debian and derivate (Ubuntu, Mepsis, …) :

# echo "blacklist pcspkr" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

Turn off bell on FreeBSD

For the session :

# sysctl hw.syscons.bell=0

Full time :

# echo "hw.syscons.bell=0" >> /etc/sysctl.conf

Disable bell only in a Linux shell

Enter this command in your shell :
