This is a libreadline issue.
An
echo "set bell-style none">~/.inputrc
should silence the bell for good. You must close and open another cygwin window for activating this.
Other problems could rise in a non-interactive execution, or when logged as another user (when you should re-run the
abovecommand again).
Success,
SLao
