If you are used to work with the terminal in Mac OS, you might want to disable the beeping sound that the terminal autocomplete (or other times) .
It is a bit of distracting sound, especially if you are working.
Today I want to note, how to disable this option. I found some similar question on stackoverflow, but maybe the version of operating system are different, I spend a lot of time for looking the location of option page.
To make it easier to explain, I will also attach some screenshots of the location.
Setting method of different versions
OS X Tiger (10.4 and earlier)
- Open terminal
- In options select Terminal > Window Settings
- In the terminal window click on the drop down form and select Emulation
- Uncheck Audible Bell
OS X Leopard (10.5 and later)
- Open terminal
- In options select Terminal > Preferences...
- Select Settings > Advanced (in Big Sur is Profiles)
- Uncheck Audible Bell
After unchecking it, you don't need to do anything, and the terminal will naturally no longer hear the annoying beeping sound.
