Deactivate the system beep

By | November 7, 2008

The system beep can be really annoying sometimes. In Debian and Debian-based distributions like Ubuntu, you can blacklist it:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

Add the following at the end of the file:

#speaker beep

blacklist pcspkr

Reboot and you’re all done. If you want to disable the system beep on the spot, you can do it with

sudo rmmod pcspkr
