Since a recent update, my system bell is beeping in vim and firefox. If I'm searching for something on the page in firefox and it's not there, it beeps on every single character entered in the search box. Wow, is that annoying!
I have "set bell-style none" in /etc/inputrc. What else could be making it beep?

Try rmmod snd_pcsp, and if that helps you can blacklist that module in rc.conf.

If that doesn't work, you might try adding these in ~/.bashrc and ~/.xinitrc respectively:
setterm -blength 0
xset -b
and/or this in rc.conf:
MODULES=( !pcspkr ... )
and/or this if you use alsa:
$ amixer set 'PC Speaker' 0% mute

setting xset -b worked - thanks!
weird - pcspkr was blacklisted, but it's loading anyway!
MOD_BLACKLIST=(pcspkr)
# lsmod |grep spk
pcspkr 4352 0
I suspect some udev change or bug, perhaps.

MOD_BLACKLIST is deprecated. You can blacklist it in the MODULES array with an exclamation mark.
I updated the pc speaker wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dis … eaker_beep
