Are you sure? I haven't yet upgraded my desktop to this point, so can't test.
How is that possible that vt(4) affects X11?
He could be right. I don't use vt, but syscons also has a bell setting:
sysctl -d hw.syscons.bell hw.syscons.bell: enable bell
With this set to 1 a ^G in xterm results in a beep. After setting the
sysctl to 0 a ^G in xterm produces no sound at all.
FYI, Xorg server beeps via xf86OSRingBell(), i.e.,
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/blob/master/hw/xfree86/os-support/bsd/bsd_bell.c#L61
IOW, if console cannot beep, xterm does not beep.
