It's not under the accessibility options as joule said. That's for stickykeys and that nonsense. Your problem is the keyboard says "TOO MANY KEYS AT ONCE!!!". I think it's actually limited by the hardware. I don't know of any way to fix it. sorry

Yes, it's caused by pressing too many keys at once. The beep doesn't come from your keyboard but from your computer. I don't believe you can disable it.

I have to hold down 8 keys before it starts beeping. I don't think I'll ever be holding down that many all at once lol.

i thought it was a limitation with keyboards, atleast the older method of them that you couldn't hold down three or more keys at once because of the buffer or something *shrugs*

Pretty much...
As taken from that site above...

Generally speaking, keys within a 3x3 square are on the same logic region, and most keyboards will only accept 2-3 keypresses simultanisly from the same logic region, ignoring other keypresses; pressing more results in the PC speaker beep.

unplug the PC speaker though it might not be a good idea if your computer fails, because it uses the speaker to tell you whats wrong
