not in X. man command does not respect set bell-style visible

[Mitchell Laks <mlaks@post.harvard.edu>]

Dear Gurus,

I like silence. 

While running a tty console 
(no X running)
I include in .inputrc
the line 
set bell-style visible

this is clearly respected by say the 
tab command on an empty line (no beep, just a flash)
however 
when i do 
man anything
say man bash
and then reach the end of the buffer and then space bar through the buffer
then hitting space at the  end of the buffer gives me a beep

how to get rid of this?

thanks 
Mitchell
