I ran emacs -Q today (to confirm a bug) and I was driven to
distraction by all the beeping. [My Emacs is mercifully silent,
presumably(?) because I have `visible-bell' turned on, so I'm not
used to all the noise.] On this system the beep sounds like a drop
of water falling into a pool and it is very loud (even though I keep
my volume level set quite low). Just a few minutes in emacs -Q was a
torture.

It seems that this noisiness must be a deterrent to new users
starting to use Emacs; it would certainly discourage some from
sticking with it when they first use it.

One simple improvement would be to not sound a beep when the user
presses `C-g'. That would reduce the amount of noise very greatly.
