Could someone help me turn off the system beep?

i need to know how to turn off the beep when you try to tab complete or backspace too far etc. im sure someone knows what im refering to, i use Arch linux and im currently using xfce4 but it does it in and out of GUI. i try to use 'setterm -blength 0' and it seems to work till i load xfce4 up again....any help is appreciated.

Hi troy`,
For disabling the bell on tab-completion, you need to edit the file /etc/inputrc. Open inputrc as root and uncomment the following line : -
