How to disable GNOME logout/shutdown/restart beep???

Hello, when I logout/shutdown/restart and the volume is not mute, I hear a large beep sound which annoys me very much. I tried to untick alart sound in System->Preference->Sound, but it does not help.

modprobe -r pcspkr and add !pcspkr to the MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf.

Thanks a lot, but does it affect other part of the system, e.g. sound?

That module only affects the system PC speaker. You say "when the volume is not mute[d]"; is the beep coming from the soundcard or the PC speaker? If it's coming from the latter, unload the pcspkr module (and be sure to unload snd_pcsp as well if you're on a 2.6.28 or higher kernel).

I make it a rule to blacklist those modules anyway on my systems since it really gets annoying having the system beep during the middle of class because of an odd tab completion.
