There's a few ways:

  xset b 0

will tell X not to use it.  You could follow that up with some X
resources (in ~/.Xresources):

  XTerm*VisualBell:                  true
  XTerm*VT100*visualBell:            true
  *Rxvt*visualBell:                  true

Don't know readline, sorry.  You can make your own ~/.inputrc - I
don't use it but some do to tweak their keyboard character set
handling.
