This may also be referred to as the system beep. Ubuntu utilizes this function found on the majority of computers.
Blacklisting the module
This method requires basic knowledge of the terminal, but is still very simple.
Fire up a terminal session (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and proceed with the following command:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
Enter your password when prompted, it will not display any input.
At the very bottom of the file that is now open in Gedit append the following:
blacklist pcspkr
Save and close. Next boot, the module will not be loaded and your annoyance ceases.

also, you can disable it without having to reboot by doing:
sudo rmmod pcspkr
You can also put this into a separate file, so that it does not conflict with any updates to that file.
echo "blacklist pcspkr" >/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-pcspkr
Alternatively, go to the sound preferences, and you can uncheck a box to disable it.
You can also run command modprobe -r pcspkr for temporary disable bip.
