If you're using tcsh, you can set these two shell variables
from man page of tcsh:
matchbeep (+)
If set to `never', completion never beeps. If set
to `nomatch', it beeps only when there is no match.
If set to `ambiguous, it beeps when there are multi-
ple matches. If set to `notunique', it beeps when
there is one exact and other longer matches. If
unset, `ambiguous' is used.
nobeep (+)
If set, beeping is completely disabled. See also
visiblebell.
set nobeep
