It's a Debian/bullseye laptop with Gnome Shell -- so I guess it's a
Gnome Shell setting? (The first thing I do with any machine is switch
off any "alert" beeps.)

I think this might point toward not doing anything about the default --
people who don't like beeps will switch them off on the OS level. That
is, flipping the default will make `C-g' more intrusive for people
who've already made a decision to ignore beeps.
