Try looking for 'visual bell' or 'visible bell' can't remember which. I'm
going to have to do something about this one soon too, it is really
starting to get on my ****. I'm not certain this will do what you want
but I know it uses a screen flash for the hard of hearing... whether it
can turn off the bell I don't know (AIUI the reason it is called a bell
goes back to the days of typewriters).

At least with a desktop it's easy enough to disconnect the speaker.
