1. switch off console beep (internal pc speaker) in gnome-terminal
(or alltogether). Or let gnome-terminal issue a sound to esd /
/dev/dsp / whatever, so as to let one control volume.
xset b 0
Thanks!

echo ^G (that's ctrl-v,g - i.e. hold control and then press v and g
in succession)
this does not work over an SSH connection that has X forwarding AFAIK
if you xset b 0 locally.
This doesn't work even with X forwarding disabled. It just prints a
silent '^G' to the screen. Normal Ctrl-g does beep on the client side
only, of course.
