Camaleón posted what I think is a better solution but I think you may have missed seeing it in all of the messages. At least there wasn't any acknowledgement of it. Instead of trying to configure all programs to be quiet you could simply turn the bell off in the terminal globally.

I don't have a way to test this at the moment but I recall that being the correct method to disable the bell in the terminal. And if so then it would be silent for all applications ringing the bell. And in X you can use 'xset b off'. Bob
