To disable the beep in bash you need to uncomment (or add if not already there) the line
set bell-style nonein your/etc/inputrcfile.Note: 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 also in vim you need to add
set visualbellin your~/.vimrcfile. -
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~/.profilefile.
