Turning the system beep off (for BASH)

I have tried instructions below on Ubuntu Server but should work for all distributions running the BASH shell.

echo "setterm -blength 0" >> $HOME/.bash_profile

Now, logout and log in again. That's it. You'll never hear the annoying PC speaker beeps.

Did this tutorial help a little? How about buy me a cup of coffee?

Please feel free to use the comments form below if you have any questions or need more explanation on anything. I do not guarantee a response.

IMPORTANT: You must thoroughy test any instructions on a production-like test environment first before trying anything on production systems. And, make sure it is tested for security, privacy, and safety. See our terms here.

What if I want to turn it on?
I don't think I ever heard this computer beep (Samsung N150, running Debian-based, CrunchBang-like BunsenLabs 8.5 OS)! Posted by: NitroNilz on Jun 10, 2016
