That's a firmware/BIOS thing, if it's the one I think.

Pull the cable of the internal PC speaker. The annoying 'beep' is the only sensible sound that thing is capable of, anyways. (Yes, I know there are ways to redirect sound to that crappy device an yes, I had hard laughs of it way back in Amiga times, too. :)

On the other hand, I *have* diagnosed problems from the beep code, which it's not hard to look up.

Yes, that's a good point worth remembering.
I also use the initial 'beep' from a reboot as an indicator that my fresh kickstart installation has just finished.

Depends on if it is an OS or hardware thing.
If it's an OS thing, the easiest way is to do:
[root@centos:~ #] modprobe -r pcspkr
Or to make this permanent, add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
blacklist pcspkr
