what is it with that beep sound?

[abc]

boy...i dont know but IT WAS SUCH A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. I am sure i
must have gone deaf with that beep sound which chromium produces.
WHICH DUMB ASS HOLES IDEA IS IT TO GET THIS LOGIC.
Imagine you trying to clear the address bar and click the back space
button and when it reaches the end and nothing more to clear...IT
FREAKING MAKES A LOUD BEEPING SOUND WITH 100 DECIBLE OR MORE.
Come on freaks...that doesnt need a system beep so loud, and i use an
ear phone in my laptop...and boy...what a hell it is.

Cute. I don't know what operating system you are on, but on my Debian
GNU/Linux VM, there is no such beep with Chromium. On my Windows laptop,
there is no such beep with Chrome. Guess what? On my wife's iMac, there
is no such beep with Chrome.

So, rather than calling the developers names, why not troubleshoot
what's causing the beep, and investigate from there? It would definitely
be a lot more productive than the diatribe spewed above.

I use gentoo based linux machine, to be more precise sabayon 2.6.34.

And in the same machine,
I have Konqueror which doesnt make the sound
I have firefox which doesnt make the sound
I have Opera which definitely doesnt make the beep sound

Now my well read genius what do you conclude?

This happens when the address bar is cleared. To be more precise you
clear the address bar and try to clear it again, it is sort of an
indication warning the developers wants to give saying that, it's
already been cleared. SO THERE IS NOTHING TO TROUBLESHOOT MY SMART
FRIEND, THEY NEED TO REMOVE THE CALL TO BEEP() FUNCTION FROM THAT
LOGIC.

And for others who instead of looking at my verbose who really want to
know the issue and troubleshoot....the version which I am using is
Chromium 5.0.376.0 (44230)


Phewww...

Just to be sure, have you tried opening a terminal and pressing
backspace? If it's some system configuration causing your problem, then
that might produce a beep.

Btw, it would be nice if you didn't "shout" (all-caps) in your messages.
I realize you're irritated and/or frustrated, but some people have a
hard time reading text in all-caps, and it's rude to the people who
might actually want to help you. I know if someone came up to me and
suddenly started shouting at me, I would be much less concerned about
helping that person and much more concerned about getting as far away
from the noise as possible.

First and foremost, relax please. It's just a beep.

I had the same problem however, and it was quite irritating. I ended
up just muting the system beep.

I conclude that you top-post your replies. I would have expected more
from a Gentoo user.

I'd be willing to bet, given the information thus far, that it's not
Chromium that's producing the beep, but the pc speaker. Which,
thankfully, is easy to remove from the Linux kernel. Pull up your
terminal, and type the following:

# modprobe -r pcspkr

Now, try your beep again. If it went away, you can blacklist this kernel
module from loading, by adding it to /etc/modules (as is the case with
my Debian GNU/Linux machine- ymmv).

I bet this is the same system beep that happens in gnome-terminal when
in the bash shell, and you press the tab key twice to show your options,
or hitting the <esc> key in the terminal.

Thank you friends. If I had the audacity to scream, then let me be
humble enough to acknowledge all your help. I had already got the
system beep turned off. The initial outburst was becaz of my ear
getting blasted and for couple of seconds my ear couldnt hear a thing,
I thought I lost my ears for good. So may be all the anger was
directed towards the guy who wrote that silly logic. Sorry again
friends
