How to switch off Motherboard Beeping?


I have a laptop with linux on it that just keeps beeping all the bloody time. When gdm starts, when the machine switches to runlevel 6 to reboot, when I tab complete a command!

The system works, but it is amazingly annoying.

To stop the beeping on the tab completion I have added
Code:
set bell-style none
to /etc/inputrc which takes care of the beeps that were happening every minute of usage - but gdm, reboot and everything else still beep.

How do I kill all beeps in the OS?

EDIT: it's ok, I found that disabling pcspkr module does the trick

hehe, that will work.
One thing I always disable is the terminal bell in the gnome-terminal (Edit-Current Profile). But I don't think that would take care of all the beeps you describe.
