When running the Momentics install (6.3.2) under VMware on my laptop, the terminal ascii  "BEL" character is so loud it 
wakes up everyone in the room.  I have told VMware not to use sound.  I have tried to set audio properties under photon 
(mixer) but nothing I found quiets it.  (To test, open a terminal and simply press <backspace> at the prompt.)

Short of recompiling some module (not sure which one), has anyone found a solution for this?

Re: Obnoxious ascii BEL sound

printf %c[=1;1;B 0×1b > /dev/con1

will make the bell pretty much silent (there might be a slight click)

Re: Obnoxious ascii BEL sound

Yes, but the ANSI code has the benefit of working when you're native on 
a laptop too...

True, but it doesn't work during installation or booting... :-)
