GDM will still beep on startup by default, won't it?

And this will only affect local shells, not remote shells accessed
through ssh, right?

I'm part of those who live fine without the working internal speaker.
I'd simply disconnect it if it was possible, unfortunately this is a
laptop.

I now know that I can simply blacklist the kernel module, but I'd
really prefer a more user-friendly way of achieving the same thing,
like for instance by just muting the PC Speaker ALSA mixer channel...
