You need to redirect stderr to /dev/null, not stdout:

  d.legend map=some_raster range=0,19  2> /dev/null


It's been so long since I turned off the terminal bell that I can hardly
remember how, but, for rxvt put this in ~/.Xresources
rxvt*visualBell: True

for gnome-terminal it is somewhere in edit current profile config gui.

another very effective solution is to open your computer case and remove
the wire to the speaker. (!)


I put that warning in d.legend, and I would like it to remain. The
color rules's range is not necessarily the same as the raster's, and
it is not easy to know about that otherwise. The range will not extend
beyond the range of the color rules.

Of course you can edit the code and comment out the line locally..


Another solution is to draw the raster with d.rast, and then tell
d.legend to draw the legend of another map which does cover the full
range. You have to use "r.colors rast=" to be sure they use the same
rules first.
