Disabling Your PC Speaker in Ubuntu
Like most people, I find that the PC speaker makes it’s incredibly rude noises at exactly the wrong times. You can make it be quiet for the time being by typing in the following at the command prompt:
sudo modprobe -r pcspkr
You can stop it forever by simply blacklisting the module. Edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add this line:
blacklist pcspkr
Arguably the single most important thing to know about ubuntu,
thanks
Wow, so simple to fix I can’t believe I’ve lived with the system beeps all this time. Now i can use the server without waking up the neighbors. Thanks!

Nice tip!!
Thanx a lot
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God bless you forever!!!
agreed, perhaps THE most unbelievably annoying ‘feature’ known to humankind.
oh, thank goodness.
Quiet and wonderful now
Thanks!
cool :D
thanks man
Oh dear God yes. YES!
Just an update for modernization purposes– /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist is now /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf . the non-.conf version is liable to be ignored in the future.
thanks for the page!
@Brandon:
Thanks for the heads up.
