How to disable Vim bells sounds?

Try to use the following line in your .vimrc, .gvimrc files:

set belloff=all

Assuming you have that problem in GVim, adding the following line

autocmd GUIEnter * set vb t_vb=

in your if has("gui_running") conditional block should help.

From :help 'visualbell':

Note: When the GUI starts, 't_vb' is reset to its default value.
You might want to set it again in your gvimrc.

To disable visual bell in Visual Studio 2019 with VsVim extension:

VsVim detects the presence of _vimrc, so add the following to it:

C:\Users\YourName\_vimrc

set vb t_vb=

Setting other options like errorbells or beloff had no effect in VsVim.

For me with gVim it works if I put

set noerrorbells
set vb t_vb=

in ~/.gvimrc, not ~/.vimrc.
