This solution works, but appears to only apply to the currently

I haven't tried this for KDE, but I expect it will work for all bash
sessions, no matter where they run:
head -2 /etc/inputrc
# do not bell on tab-completion
#set bell-style none
Just uncomment the second line.
That's system-wide. For one user, you can just login as the user and do

I hear ya with wanting to 'terminate with extreme prejudice', but I
think it's not necessarily wise to completely kill the functionality.
Sometimes an audible alert can be useful.
