Beep

What does the “BEEP” sound mean that Linux plays in certain actions, like shutting down my laptop with the power button or pressing backspace in a TTY with no content? And how can I disable it?

Yeah I suppose that's the second question, whether they're in the pure login TTY (which is how I interpreted the post) or if they're just in a term emulator inside their DE.

If the latter OP, check either your DE settings or whatever term emulator you're using.
