Disable beep during resume from hibernation

My laptop beeps three times during the resume from hibernation. How can I disable this beeping. I use CentOS 5.3. Interestingly, this issue did not occur when I used CentOS 5.2 on the same laptop last year.

This appears to be a deliberate feature, and you can apparently blame Nigel Cunningham if I read the thread "[PATCH] Optional Beeping During Resume From Suspend To Ram." correctly, and if the behavior also affects resume from hibernation:
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2007-06/msg07973.html

The title implies the option can be disabled, but the means was not obvious to me as a non-kernel-hacker.

A google on
site:lkml.org Disable beep during resume from hibernation

provides more info but does not enlighten me. Seems the default must be "acpi_sleep=s3_beep" but don't know how to turn it off. Ought to be easy if you have the correct magic incantation.

D'oh! Don't tell me you are loosing your touch, Phil. How about --

(1) Open up laptop.
(2) Identify the beep-beep-beep device.
(3) Insert the wires to the same into the jaws of side-cutter.
(4) Squeeze handles together.

Sorry, but I couldn't resist it.

Actually that approach was mentioned somewhere in google-land, but seemed inelegant, so I ignored it.

Not having a laptop on which to check, I'll just suggest --

cd /proc/acpi
ls -lR

-- followed by an analysis of what one has just observed.

Thanks, pschaff.

There seems no way to disable those obtrusive beeps, good work Cunningham.

Please file a report on this issue at the upstream bug tracker.

I understand that those beeps were enabled as part of a code debugging phase -- for debugging purposes only -- and, normally, should not be audible.
