I'm not 100% sure, but this should not depend on your window manager, but
rather on the individual application you are working in.

Examples:
- In the bash, to turn off the beep when e.g. completion does not give you
  a unique result, you need to create a ~/.inputrc and put into it:

  set bell-style off

  This will silence ALL applications that are based on libreadline, not
  just bash.

- In vi, to avoid the bell when..well, almost everywhere :-), you could
  put this into your .exrc or .vimrc:
  :set vb
  (vb = visualbell)

I believe for emacs something similar should exist, but I'm not an emacs
user.

Hope that helps,
Frank
