Thanks Chris, I applied this patch and it solved the problem.

For those that may be interested, in sh/bash (or actually readline), it is done
with "set bell-style none" in inputrc.  But this still doesn't affect programs that
don't use readline.

Hi Bob,

I think this bug has been fixed since 4.9 RELEASE.  You might want to
try updating your sources with cvsup, or simply applying the patch that
fixes the bug (below), and rebuilding your kernel.

Hi there,
I'm having a difficult time turning off the keyboard bell.  I have tried 
kbdcontrol -b off and setting keybell="NO" in rc.conf, but this only shortens 
it down to a chirp.  If I set kbdcontrol -b visual, then the audible bell goes 
away completely and I get a flashing screen instead.  What am I missing here?  
How can I turn the bell off completely?  This is on a fresh install of 4.9.
