In /etc/inputrc you can put the line "set bell-style none" to turn off the beeping from bash. Or you can use my solution and disconnect the frickin' worthless PC speaker so that nothing beeps, EVER.

On cygwin, this didn't work, but putting
Code:
set bell-style none
in ~/.inputrc did. Just thought I'd put it out there. Hey, my first post.
