Subject: bug#1305: Please disable the audible bell by default, to avoid discouraging newbies in crowded offices and elsewhere

Hi Xavier,
Re. users with vision loss: They need a screen reader (Emacspeak
provides that) or a magnifier utility. But why do they also need
beep-on-error?
What if the screen reader is not working correctly ? The visible
bell could be used to check that something, at least, is working.
Regards
Xavier
