Awesome tip, this is one of the first things I do now on a new install.
Newbies might get thrown off by the missing .conf. Here’s the command line method of opening the blacklist.conf file:
gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Very useful tip. I have always hated how the PC speaker beeps when I do something simple, like hitting backspace one too many times in the terminal. This helps out a lot.

@awerxx
The beeps that you would use to diagnose a problem ussually occur at startup which is independent of the os.

What, in case where hardware problem occurs? To diagnose a problem we using beep sequence depending on BIOS. Those disabled speaker not supporting such a diagnose?

I see your sudo modprobe -r pcspkr and raise you sudo rmmod pcspkr

This module REALLY needs to be blacklisted by default!
