On OSX you can also let the terminal bounce until you open it again in foreground.

Edit: need to use `printf '\a'` for that

Those bounces by iTunes for example are soo annoying and distracting. Is there any way to kill them system wide?

It annoys me too, but in case of the terminal bouncing this is deliberate so I get back to work ;-). To disable it:

`defaults write com.apple.dock no-bouncing -bool TRUE && killall Dock`

I have alias foo='bar;tput bel' in my .bash_profile which does the same thing.
