Ubuntu Error Beep : Compiz Configuration Hack, to replace the error beep with something aesthetic
I hate it. I don’t know about you, but I believe that the system beep which Ubuntu plays during errors can be safely replaced with better options. It is a real pain in the ear.
Earlier, i used to mute my speakers so that I am not troubled by the nuisance. Now thanks to Compiz, I can replace it with cooler visual effects. All thanks to this post from tombuntu.

As for the Error beep replacement, I used two effects. One was the Shiver property of Wobbling Window effect and the other the Title Effect of Water Effect. I didn’t use the Blur Windows because the blur wasn’t very prominent. Also the Fading Window effect was not used as I had already seen it functioning in my friends computer and wanted mine to be different. 
Say goodbye to the painful high decibel system error beep today!
