The beep sounds on error (or on shutdown) E.g. I enter `sldj`, hit TAB for
completion
-> it beeps. No matter if I am on a virtual console or in a terminal
emulator. (I know that I can disable it on X with the appropriate xset
setting)
I use gnome with awesome as a WM. The beep sound is definitively this
painful hardware beep and not a sound file.
Before this kernel removing the mentioned modules always helped, my last kernel
before 2.6.38.* was 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem

This works indeed. Becaus I could not unload it (got a message that it
is still in use) I put these two lines in /etc/rc.local... and the beep
is gone.
