Disable Sound Effects in OSX Lion

Question

How can I disable that annoying buzzer sound in OSX Lion that I get when, for example, I'm at the terminal and press delete on an empty line?

I tried to modify the sound settings by unchecking "Play user interface sound effects" but it didn't work.

Well, almost. What you want to disable is the "Alert sound", or an audible bell. You can disable it by turning down the Alert volume.
