CentOS 5(probably RHEL too) comes with system beep enabled by default.

This could be very irritating because the sound comes from system speaker and cannot be disabled with sound controls.

Solution:

go to system–>preferences—>sound—>system beep and uncheck it.

Now you will have system beep only at login.
