I'm posting one last time to to note that the beep did not disappear completely. Every now and then the beep will sound. Maybe someday I'll determine the pattern, but for now I'll remove my headphones before shutting-down.

The beep only partially disappeared. I'm sure there was some pattern, but I never could figure it out. So I uncommented "set bell-style none" in /etc/inputrc. But that didn't do it either. So I finally took Head_on_a_Stick's advice with respect to .xsessionrc, creating the file with trembling hands. :-). Success!

Just FYI:

You are allowed to create new files in $HOME

There is no .xsessionrc in my home directory, only .xsession-errors and .xsession-errors.old.

I could not determine where Sound Preferences was. There's a Sound package, but not a Sound Preferences.

So I added "blacklist pcspkr" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist (I did indeed have to create this file). The shutdown beep appears to have disappeared.

Thanks to Head_on_a_Stick, GNUser, and Dutch_Master for their replies. I will play around with the various settings.

Another alternative is to autostart this command:

xset b off

Adding it to ~/.xsessionrc should do the trick (or use Cinnamon's autostart GUI).

@nobodyuknow - Try adding blacklist pcspkr to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist (create /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist if it doesn't already exist).

Find and open Sound Preferences, in the "Sound Effects" tab, select "no sound" as sound-theme. Worked for me, YMMV!

I just built two systems: Cinnamon to use as a primary system and MATE to play around with. I noticed that on shutdown, Cinnamon beeps while MATE does not. How do I turn-off the beep?
