How to turn off bell sound in Visual Studio Code?

Question

I've got freshly installed Visual Studio Code on OSX with only Emacs Keymap extension.

When I'm trying to undo (ctrl + /) the bell sound occurs.

Any idea how to turn it off with this keybinding or for ever? I did not find any sound related settings in VSC configs.

For anyone stumbling on this question going crazy for an answer, the issue is related to this: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/44070

The bell sound actually occurs when you press Ctrl+/ on any text input box (try it in Chrome address bar and Stickies).

You'll need to rebind the shortcut through DefaultKeyBinding.dict.

Go to ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict (you'll need to mkdir and touch the file if it doesn't exist).

Add this:

{
    "^/" = "noop:";
}

Then restart vscode.

The best way that I've found is to disable all bell sounds in the operating system's control panel. I'm not sure where that's found for Mac, though.
