I'm late to this thread, so my apologies if this was already mentioned, but:

echo -e "\\33[10;45]\\33[11;0]"

...will mute the beep in the bash shell.  (from
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Visual-Bell-4.html)  I just put that line into a
shell script called /bin/beepoff and run it when I want it.  The HOWTO has
much more info.
