You can use one of the PD programs that intercept the DisplayBeep() function.
There are a few of them. BeepIt simply gives you a short beep rather than a
screenflash. SetBeep will allow you to play any 8SVX sound sample instead of
the  screen flash. (I have mine making a 'drip' sound from one of the early
MusicCraft demos).

If you want to hack your own, just use SetFunction() to intercept the call to
DisplayBeep() and point it at your own function to do whatever you's like. A
simple RTS will suffice to remove the flash if you don't want to do anything
else in its place.
