Yes, there's an option in the Accessibility KCM ("Use system bell" under
Bell tab).
I've always found it confusing how there are two ways to enable system bell.

Also, for what it's worth there are people who like the system bell, see
e.g. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177861.
I used to belong to this group since I found the system bell more
responsive in Konsole,
but since then I've grown accustomed to a silent terminal.
If no KDE applications use this feature, I say +1 for removing the KCM (or
maybe stuff it all in the Accessibility KCM?).
