Keyboard beeps with multiple simultaneous keypresses

Mostly just curious... this isn't really a problem, though I wouldn't mind turning off the beep if it can be done without interfering with other sounds.
This T61p (Vista Ultimate SP1 32-bit) issues beeps when I simultaneously press keys that it apparently can't encode together. For example, I can depress and hold, in sequence, zxcv and each one appears; if I add b, the thinkpad beeps and the b does not appear. Longer sequences sometimes work. For example, axcbn,;
Well, anyway, I think I remember this has something to do with keycodes and scan lines and the like. Not like I need to have that many keys down or anything. But I was wondering whether the beeping can be disabled, whether it's an OS setting, in the BIOS, or...
