A comment on Analog Terminal Bell.

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.
