Turn the system bell off under X Windows
Turn the system bell off under X Windows
The system bell notification can be annoying when using xterm and/or Emacs.
Turn the system bell off:
xset b off
You can also change the volume, the pitch, and the duration.
The syntax is
xset b volume pitch duration
For example, to set the volume to 25 (not changing pitch and duration):
xset b 25
If you want to turn set the bell to its default values:
xset b on
or just:
xset b
To view the current values:
xset q|grep bell
which on my computer displays (default values):
bell percent:  50    bell pitch:  400    bell duration:  100
To set the system bell automatically everytime X starts, add the following line before the last one in your ~/.xinitrc file:
xset b 20 400 20 &

This doesn't affect other sounds, so you can still listen to your mp3:s, Spotify, Audacity, etc... ;-)
