Bash terminal beep - how to shut it up?

[Kevin.Bewley@camr.org.uk]

Hi,
   I'm running Debian 3.0r1 on my laptop. Whenever I'm working in a bash
terminal or the console certain actions cause the terminal to BEEP through
the PC Speaker. This is annoying the hell out of my missus when she's
trying to watch TV and I've just scrolled a man page too far! What is the
invocation to shut it up? Which of my .bash files should I put it in?

Come to think of it, how can I shut this up system-wide?

Thanks for your help,
Kevin
