For some reason the tcsh delivered with Fedora 37 enabled this annoying "boink" sound whenever it deemed you made a mistake. I thought it was an xterm issue, but none of the other solutions suggested online (e.g., "xset b off", "rmmod pcspkr", adding "set bell-style none" to either /etc/inputrc or to ~/.inputrc) worked. In my case, it was the new tcsh that was "boink"ing. To get rid of it add the following line to your ~/.tcshrc file
Thanks, xlfs-0.2. However, I personally prefer tcsh (and csh before tcsh was developed), perhaps mainly because of the obvious similarity to C. I've been using *csh for at least 30 years now. That being said, perhaps this recent version of tcsh turned on the beep to fix a bug? I've never had to use "set nobeep" on any of my computers over the years. Anyhow, I was very pleased to discover how to turn it off!
