The terminal bell is completely abused, and as irritating as heck.

I turn it off as soon as I can upon installation of any distribution.



Emacs absolutely overuses it, every time you scroll to the end or beginning of a file it beeps.


True. One of the first things I disable.


Vim is/was like that too. I always enabled 'visual bell' in my vimrc.
