   On my X-Server i can't modify the bell volume, and hearing the
   bell all the time makes me crazy.
   So each time I get a new Version of emacs or epoch i have
   to uncomment the call to XBell.

   Maybe i am not alone in this world who have this problem. 

No, you're not; from the Epoch FAQ...

F-6: How do I turn the keyboard bell off?
  
  The easy answer is to put the following line in your .emacs file:
  
    (setq epoch::bell-volume -50)
  
  Another possibility, if you like visual bells (i.e., having the
  entire edit window flash reverse video instead of hearing an audible
  beep), is to put the following in your .emacs file:
  
    (epoch::set-bell t)
  
  The malicious answer, for those who, like myself, never want to hear
  another beep for the rest of time, is to modify src/x11term.c in the
  Epoch distribution; just change the line that reads:
  
    XBell (xs->display,volume);
  
  To:
  
    /* XBell (xs->display,volume); */
  
  Then recompile.

Hope this helps,
