You can stop the PC Speaker linux module from loading. I dunno what its called in Linux 2.4, in 2.6 it is "pcspkr.ko". A quick way to stop the PC speaker from working is to simply delete the module.

(Quoted from the vimdoc)
36.2. How do I disable the visual error flash and the error beep?

You can disable both the visual error flash and the error beep using the
following command:

:set visualbell t_vb=

For more information, read

:help 'visualbell'
:help 'errorbells'
:help t_vb

You might want to look up information on .vimrc so you can automatically do it.
