emacs version: 18.56 with X11.

It seems to be impossible to turn off beeping with X11.
Please apply the following patch.  Then the command
	xset b 0
will turn off beeping.

Or better: Also make a variable to control the action of ring_bell().

  	BLOCK_INPUT ();
! 	XBell (XXdisplay,50);
  	XFlush (XXdisplay);
  	UNBLOCK_INPUT ();
--- 704,708 ----
  #endif
  	BLOCK_INPUT ();
! 	XBell (XXdisplay,-50);
  	XFlush (XXdisplay);
  	UNBLOCK_INPUT ();

After  'xset b BASE',
   XBell(disp,VAL)  beeps with volume  BASE - (BASE*VAL)/100 + VAL,
   XBell(disp,-VAL) beeps with volume  BASE - (BASE*VAL)/100.
