   I have this in my .emacs file:

   (setq ring-bell-function #'(lambda))

   But the bell is active anyway.



I think you meant~ to write

 (setq ring-bell-function (lambda ()))

(ding)

or maybe you prefer (this is what I have in my .emacs)

 (setq ring-bell-function nil)
 (setq visible-bell t)

(ding)

~:  `lambda' is self-quoting, which is why `(lambda)' "works",
but it requires an arglist if you want to build a function;
if the function accepts no arguments, the arglist is `nil'. 
C-h f lambda RET.
