Thanks for the report, and I'm still investigating.  But it appears you
are using cmd.com based on $TERM=cygwin.  And in the readline source code,
even if visible bells are requested, readline falls back on an audible
bell if it can't figure out how to do a visible alert on your terminal.
Therefore, my guess is that the cygwin termcap/terminfo entry lacks
whatever string causes a visible bell (and more likely, the cygwin tty
code lacks support for visible alerts altogether).
