How to silence the (arguably) annoying beep at every startup

[Moderator caprea]

AntiX 17 on a lenovo t60 ,everything is going great, except for one thing.
There’s an annoying beep at every startup, which I can’get rid of.
It’s exactly the moment between the boot finishes and the desktop comes up.

I allready looked for some options, but can’t find a solutuion.
In bios all alarms are disabled
snd_pcsp module is disabled by default in antix
In / etc/default/grub theres GRUB_INIT_TUNE which is outcommented

It would be nice, if someone could help, cause I dont like everyone in the house is falling out of bed, if I turn my laptop on in the night.

Figured it out,
In etc/modprobe.d/pc-speaker.conf I had to blacklist also pcspkr
This is solved.

Athough I like the beepybeep (and still enjoy listening to the huge midi music collection I’ve accumulated)…

thanks for posting the solution, er, “tip” !
