Disable the System Beep on Ubuntu Edgy
I dislike the system beep on any computer, anywhere, anytime. Here's how to turn it off in Ubuntu.
Go to System \ Preferences \ Sound and click the System Beep tab.
Uncheck the box, and hit close. Easy as that!

I think this only disables the annoying beep within Gnome, but how can I also disable it in all(Ctrl+Alt+F1(~6)) terminals altogether ?
yeah, that's what I want to know
@arsgeek
Good article.
Thank YOU! It was driving me crazy..
sudo rmmod pcspkr
The place to blacklist modules is /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, so open and edit this file and add at the end of the file:
blacklist pcspkr
That's it, no more beep beep beeep going around.
Hope this will help handle your virtual console in a greater way
