Turning off the annoying system beep in VMWare running Linux
Searching high and low, I tried everything to stop by system from producing an annoying system beep from Linux running in VMWare Player.
It was simple:
sudo modprobe -r pcspkr
For a more permanent solution, add blacklist pcspkr to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.
Whoa this actually worked I’m impressed. To change it though I had to change the privs (chown -R (username) /etc/modprobe.d). Then yea, thank you Very Freaking Much!!!!

You can also add the hidden preference “mks.noBeep = TRUE” to your preferences.ini file (on Windows host) or /etc/config (on Linux host)
