Indeed. A good reason to use visible-bell by default is that we have no
guarantee that the bell can actually be heard (e.g. I usually turn it
off because I usually consider that a computer should be as close to
silent as possible, except when I specifically ask otherwise (.e.g
listing to music or whatching a video)).
The other reason is that the beep can annoy other people than the user,
whereas the visible-bell is very unlikely to annoy other people than the
user herself.
