FreeBSD: Disable / Stop Console Beep ( Bell )

by on July 21, 2010 · 0 comments· last updated at July 21, 2010

I know how to turn off console beep under Gnome Linux desktop. How do I stop console beep under FreeBSD operating systems?

You need to set kernel state or variable to disable beep. Edit /etc/sysctl.conf, enter (you must login as root user):
# vi /etc/sysctl.conf
Append the following config:
hw.syscons.bell=0
Save and close the file. You can also type the following command at shell:
# sysctl hw.syscons.bell=0



You should follow me on twitter here or grab rss feed to keep track of new changes.
