there is kernel module rsponsible for this: pcspkr

in /etc/modprobe.conf add:

alias pcspkr dummy


I'm amazed: it is difficult to get a laptop suspend or hibernate, it is
difficult to have system-network-config available for a normal user (see
my other posts) but someone somewhere is able to make you sweat your
guts out with a kernel module which is totally useless!
