Silence GTK Sound In KDE4

I switched to kde4 as like its sleek modern looking UI. However, I was not able to move or find alternate for firefox.

Every now and then firefox alert used to give this annoying bell like sound, it is really frustrating. I found a solution for this annoyance.

Open up ~/.gtkrc or ~/.gtkrc-kde4 in your favourite editor. Add the following two lines to the file.

gtk-enable-event-sounds= 0
gtk-error-bell=0

Now log out and login. And you are all set.. the annoying sound is gone.
