Nope. Two tabs in a terminal window produces no sound. I am using Gnome
terminal, and I can't find anything in preferences that might affect
this.

sudo rmmod pcspkr
Error: Module pcspkr is not currently loaded

Since it's not loaded, blacklisting probably wouldn't accomplish
anything. But in any event, I wouldn't want to turn off the speaker in
case something really serious happened. It seems much more sensible to
figure out what is causing these loud bleeps and fix whatever the
problem is.

Since my first post I have had one more loud bleep. I have to stop
them.
