I also agree disabling system beeps also in virtual consoles. If you have your loudspeakers pluged in and want to listen to music and a system beep appears it's a big pain for the ears! Especially when your loudspeakers stand in the near, for example on your desk!
The problem on my Thinkpad Z61m is - even if I listen to music in low volume the beep is so much louder than normal music that it trashes the ears.
I also cannot disable or lower the volume of my PC speakers in Gnome mixer:
