In an xterm if you type ^G or when you use completion of
filenames and there is no filename, or when you go to the
beginning or end of a line with ^A or ^E respectively,
the terminal will go "BEEP"
and the people sitting next to you will start becoming unhappy if you
keep BEEPing (like i've been doing ;).

But in fact

set nobeep

only seems to work with   tcsh  as the default "shell". If your
shell is  bash  this doesn't work.

Something that probably works in both is

xset -b

See
man xset
for more info.

Anyway, this is not an interesting topic to talk about...
