sudo modprobe -r pcspkr -- unloads module temporarily, not across reboots I think.

However most probably you edited blacklist file as well and it came into effect after the next reboot ;)

In any case, this is just a workaround, not a fix!
And this bug should receive more attention in general, not because it is particularly severe, but it has been since intrepid release, and still unfixed, that is really sad... If anyone has a clear understanding what is emitting this beep (for instance if you shutdown from GDM => no beep), please help to fix!
