if you wanted to just disable the bell OR have a visible notification
of your bell, you can put the line:
set bell-style visible
OR
set bell-style none
in your .inputrc (this wil work only if your shell uses the GNU
Readline Library. GNU Bash is one such shell). info bash for more
details on playing with .inputrc :)
