When we are in the terminal and we hit tab to complete the command line, and it can't complete all the way because there are multiple options, the terminal makes a "Bummmmpppp" noise. Is there a way to switch this off?

    You might also check /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts, which is where the sounds are stored. Maybe someone has been putting in little tricks?

    @PerlDuck I saw a post, I think here, long ago. Someone had moved 'cat' and replaced with echo meow or something very similar.

Looks like opening the terminal preferences and deselecting the terminal bell does the trick.
