To turn that off system-wide just put in /etc/modprobe.conf this
line:

install pcspkr :

This will work the next time modules are loaded.  For now you
can do 'modprobe -r pcspkr'.

If you want to silence that where 'readline' is used, like in bash,
then make your own ~/.inputrc with 'set bell-style none' there
(details in 'info bash') and that hopefully should do it.
