The xfce man pages have this settings editor,

Well, that doesn't tell me where's the setting for the audio bell.
It seems you aren't alone in your dislike of this
'feature'.

xfce-when-the-delete-button-is-pressed
That's something else. That's talking about the X11 console beep, that's
handled by X.
This is something that appears to be a new feature.
In xfce4-terminal's settings' "Advanced" tab I found an "Audible
Bell" that
shuts this off.
But ^G in emacs was still yapping away. I finally found "System Sounds" in
audio mixer and turned out the volume of this.
But, somewhere, there must be a setting that let's you pick the actual audio
bell that gets played, but I haven't found it. This is something that xfce
might be inheriting from Gnome.
