My speaker beeps like crazy while compiling Mozilla. How do I disable console beeps?

Console beeps can be turned off using setterm, like this ; 

# setterm -blength 0

If you would like to turn off the console beeps on boot you need to put this command in =20 /etc/conf.d/local.start. However, this only disables beeps for the current terminal. To disable beeps for other terminals, pipe the command output to the=20 target terminal, like this ; 

# setterm -blength 0 >/dev/vc/1

You need to replace /dev/vc/1 with the terminal you would like to disable console beeps for.
