When we are in the terminal and we hit tab to complete the command line, and it can't complete all the way because there are multiple options, the terminal makes a "Bummmmpppp" noise. Is there a way to switch this off?

    You might also check `/usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts`, which is where the sounds are stored. Maybe someone has been putting in little tricks? – Charles Green Feb 12 '19 at 19:47

    @CharlesGreen You mean like here https://askubuntu.com/q/1057512/504066 ? – PerlDuck Feb 12 '19 at 20:33

    @PerlDuck I saw a post, I think here, long ago. Someone had moved 'cat' and replaced with `echo meow` or something very similar. – Charles Green Feb 12 '19 at 20:47

Looks like opening the terminal preferences and deselecting the terminal bell does the trick.

    Took less time to find solution yourself than to type all this! Thx, always wondered how to do this. – EODCraft Staff Feb 12 '19 at 20:05
  • Hehe - Yeah turned out the be remarkably simple - I was getting Buuuummmmppp shell shock!! They should probably switch it off by default, only play it on the second try, or make a softer sound. – Ole Feb 12 '19 at 21:22

    It's especially bad when in the middle of some massive code refactoring and everything is going south and then on top of all that Ubuntu hits you with the BUMMMMMPPPPP!!!!/DRRRRRIIIPPPPPPP!!!! I'll be in starbucks yelling at Ubuntu to shut up and people are like "What's this guys problem ..." – Ole Feb 13 '19 at 01:21
