How do I completely disable bell in screen (both visual and audio)

To permanently disable the visual bell, you need to add the following command to your .screenrc file:

  vbell off

I haven't tested it, but adding the additional line to your .screenrc file should disable the message bell:

  bell_msg ""

To disable it in a session (temporarily, not permanently), issue the following command from the session:

  CTRL+A, CTRL+G

See the man page for screen (section 'CUSTOMIZATION') for more information.
