(Get the code!)
@pete -- thank you for that description :). I had the same issue. There are two parts to this. First, the beep is now monstrous, and second the default beep in readline is now on rather than off (which bash uses). I sorted the beep being used in all of my terminals, in x or not by adding the following to /etc/inputrc and loging out/in:
set bell-style none
As to why the beep is monstrous all of a sudden, well this isn't general, I have on laptop which shows this, the rest are ok. So it must be hardware specific in some sense at least.
