After nearly 2 years with Arch I finally found a way to disable the beeping sound I hear every time the cursor reaches the end of the line in text boxes and yet keep the pc speaker active for anything else that is not related to the OS (such as PC reboot notifications and so on).
I can't be sure this method would work for ALL distros but logic suggests that it should.
1. Open terminal and type:
and inside that file add:
2. Save and restart the computer.
The above command tells udev not to load the pc speaker kernel module when the system boots up. Thus no more annoying beep while you're moving the cursor through text and yet keeping the boot up beep active which usually occurs after the boot screen (the screen where you decide whether to press F11 or Delete or not).
*I know the easiest solution would be to just disconnect the pc speaker from the motherboard but that's not what I needed.
**Replace gedit with your favorite text editor.
