As has previously been mentioned and detailed you can manually disable the pc speaker if you desire:
To get rid of most of the "alerts" (for instance in the terminal): System - Preferences - Sound - Sounds, then uncheck "Play alert sound"
==> This won't however stop the system beeping on shutdown
To get rid of the shutdown beep (and perhaps making that last step redundent) you should blacklist the pc speaker:
In a terminal type "gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf"
=>This will open gedit, go to the last line in the file.
Type "blacklist pcspkr" without quotes onto a blank line at the end of this file and then save and close gedit.
