Introduction
To disable the beep in bash you need to uncomment (or add if not already there)
the line set bell-style none in your /etc/inputrc file.

Tip
Since it is a protected file you need to be a privileged user to edit it
(i.e. launch your text editor with something like sudo <editor> /etc/inputrc).
To disable the beep and the visual bell also in vim you need to add the
following to your ~/.vimrc file:
set visualbell
set t_vb=
To disable the beep also in less (i.e. also in man pages and when using
git diff) you need to add export LESS="$LESS -R -Q in your ~/.profile file.
