Stumbled over this bug while unblacklisting 'pcspkr' in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. There was a reference to this bug number.

I hate the beeps for the most part, but unloading the kernel module means the `beep` utility doesn't work. I like to use it for notifications as I only have headphones on my desktop.

This Debian post has a better fix in my opinion: https://www.debianadministration.org/article/110/Removing_annoying_console_beeps

`beep` still works, but terminals and vim don't beep at me.
