Commenting out the stanza following the comment "Use libcanberra to
play X11 Bell" disables the bell sound for all logins.
Given that this is a Pipewire configuration issue, should this be
reported as a Fedora bug?
Never mind, it's an upstream Pipewire change:
# PipeWire 0.3.60 (2022-11-10)
This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible with previous
0.3.x releases.
...
X11 Bell module will now be loaded by default when available
