   How do I change or switch off this annoying beep emacs plays for
   nearly everything?

You do it by reading the lovely Emacs manual.

>From (emacs)Display Vars

   If the variable `visible-bell' is non-`nil', Emacs attempts to make
the whole screen blink when it would normally make an audible bell
sound.  This variable has no effect if your terminal does not have a way
to make the screen blink.

Put this in your .emacs:

(setq visible-bell t)

Or alternatively, if you just want it to be less nearly everything

(setq ring-bell-function
      (lambda ()
	(unless (memq this-command
		      '(isearch-abort abort-recursive-edit exit-minibuffer
				      keyboard-quit)) ;; add extra commands here!
	  (ding))))
