@zadjii-msft commented on GitHub (Apr 30, 2021):

This is actually by design. The Terminal is finally just obeying what git bash is telling it to do. For more info, see:

/dup #9430
/dup #9111
/dup #7200

To fix: nano ~/.inputrc and add the text set bell-style none or set bell-style audible. Press Ctrl + O and Ctrl + X to Save and Exit.

I found this behaviour to be really distracting/disurbing.
The regular Git Bash terminal does exhibit this behaviour, though I can confirm that /c/Program Files/Git/etc/.inputrc does contain set bell-style visible (and that command is not overwritten by anything in .inputrc.
