Use visual screen beeps in noise sensitive areas

Alternately if you use the Terminal app, hit the Terminal Pull-
down menu, choose Window Settings, change the select bar to
Emulation and checkmark the box Visual Bell (and/or turn off
the Audible Bell negating the need to mute the computer since it
won't be nearly as noisy.

Under OS 9, didn't this happen automatically when you
muted your sound?

Yes it did happen by default in pre-OS X when you turned to
volume all the way down. I haven't tested to see if thats true in
OS X.

Alternatively, if you use screen, use ctrl-a ctrl-g to toggle between audible and visual beeps in all screens
