I've enabled visual bell via System -> Preferences -> Sound ->
System bell as I find it significantly less irritating. (I'm translating
menu items back into English, so their names may be somewhat inaccurate.)

If you want to disable the bell just for bash, you can put

  set bell-style none

in  ~/.inputrc (see the bash manual page, the section about readline
variables).
