Oh, I don't use any of that stuff. I have my own custom .xinitrc
instead with as little stuff as possible in it. So I'm not sure how I
could even set such a setting. I suppose it's some gconf stuff taking
place behind the scenes...?
Searching online shows this might be it:
sudo su gdm -c "gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/sound/event_sounds
--type bool false"
But I don't have gconftool-2 so my Debian bullseye machine is probably
missing some prerequisites.

It is my understanding that Emacs is unusual in using the system bell
though. It would be better to avoid it completely, even when that
setting is on.
Would it perhaps make sense to make visual-bell support that setting
instead?
