My laptop's system beep is incredibly loud and shrill. I have searched the forums, the wiki and a few other places, with no luck. My laptop is a Dell Studio 15.
List of tried things:
Adding !pcspkr and !snd-pcsp to the MODDULES array in /etc/rc.conf. -- Did absolutely nothing.
Disabling it in X by adding xset -b to ~/.xinitrc -- Works for X as it is supposed to, though I would like to not have to run this at each start up of X.
Adding setterm -b length 0 to .bashrc -- This works in X, if I am on a Virtual Console, I have to manually enter it.
Adding set bell-style none to ~/.inputrc -- Did absolutely nothing.
Muting/Setting at 0% PC Beep in Alsamixer. -- This works...sorta... At first it will work, but once I reboot, it's back again.
Please assist, it's driving me nuts!
Thanks for any help in advance!
EDIT: Thanks to arkhan. The problem was that alsa was not in the daemons array of /etc/rc.conf.

Many nights, I lay awake in bed,
Looking up at the stars.
Thinking of life, it's complexity,
And where in the world my ceiling could have gone this time.

i found the following solution: adding !snd_pcsp and !pcspkr in the following order to rc.conf modules list did the trick for me.
MODULES=(!snd_pcsp !pcspkr)

As I said, I already tried that. Though to double check I put them in the order that is on your's, just to be safe. Still nothing.

Did you add alsa to your daemons in /etc/rc.conf ?
Try doing that, muting the pc beep in alsamixer and running 'alsactl store' as root.

Thanks a ton! No more of that shrill noise!
The problem wasn't my alsamixer settings, and I did run alsactl store as root. The problem was that alsa wasn't in my startup daemons. Thank you!

The day Microsoft makes a product that doesn't suck, is the day they make a vacuum cleaner.

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...

This is solved, but just to be sure: You typed snd-pcsp in your first post and not snd_pcsp.

Thanks! That damn beep came back from the dead and was driving me crazy!
I couldn't find the beep in gnome-volume-control and (dumbly) assumed I
wouldn't find it in good Ol' alsamixer.

Sidenote: I blacklisted pcspkr in rc.conf and finally got rid of it!
find /etc |grep \\.d$
