couple of suggestions:
xset(1x) with the b option.
b The b option controls bell volume, pitch and dura
tion. This option accepts up to three numerical
parameters, a preceding dash(-), or a 'on/off'
flag. If no parameters are given, or the 'on'
flag is used, the system defaults will be used.
If the dash or 'off' are given, the bell will be
turned off.

you can even tell the terminal emulator if you're in X.
Eterm and xterm both have options for it, I guess rxvt probably does. Don't
use Konsole/Gnome-terminal any more..
