If you just want to turn off on terminal in Ubuntu 18.04, open Terminal > Edit > Preference then choose your terminal profile and uncheck Terminal Bell

Add the following line to the bottom of your ~/.bashrc file:

bind 'set bell-style none'

New terminals will have no error sound.

Either edit /etc/inputrc (system wide) or ~/.inputrc

and add the line:

set bell-style none

(it might just be commented out)
