-+If you using bash, I sometime know about a variable (named *BELL* or
-+something matching it...) who let you choose the *right* behavioyur. Maybe

Bash uses the readline library which in turn reads a file called
"~/.inputrc". Below is a listing of mine:
rudi:~$ cat .inputrc
set bell-style visible
set show-all-if-ambiguous On
rudi:~$
The first line turns the beep into a flashing screen (no beeps anymore),
and the second line makes completion work at the first hit of TAB (less
beeps for those terminals which don't have a visual bell).
See also man readline.
