Smart XXX answer - stop screwing up.
More likely the reply you need ...
from the manual:
"5.3 How can I keep Vim from beeping all the time?
Well, you can use ``set noerrorbells" but it does not turn off the bell for
all cases. It only makes a difference for error messages; the bell will be
always be used for a lot of errors without a message (e.g., hitting <Esc> in
Normal mode).
If you want Vim to stop beeping then all you need is ``:set vb'' which tries
to do a screen flash rather than an audible beep. Some terminals can't do
screen flashes, but if yours does and you don't want it to flash or beep
then use ``:set vb t_vb=''."
or
(haven't tried this, put the following in your .vimrc)
set noerrorbells
set visualbells
set t_vb=

just an unsolicited advice to consider:
this beep prevents you from typing stuff in command mode, at least after
a few characters -- this was sometimes helpful to me

I appreciate the "helping hand" myself ... I goof up and so do
the dev people who added that handy little helper. Yet, OP seems to
find the beep a bit too insistent ;)

:set vb
That gets you a visual bell (flashing screen). If you want to stop the
screen from flashing, try this:
:set t_vb=
I'm assuming that your question is actually about vim rather than the
old vi.
