Disabling Beep Sound on Linux

Disabling Beep Sound on Linux

1. The system beep on a laptop may be really loud. To permanently disable it, you need to add a line line to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.

   echo "blacklist pcspkr" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

   When you reboot your computer the system beep should be disabled everywhere.
2. If you don’t want to reboot your computer right now you can just run:

   sudo modprobe -r pcspkr
