Deactivating the region without the bell is possible with
keyboard-escape-quit.
But even this is not necessary: cua-selection-mode uses C-SPC C-SPC
to set the mark without activating the region (more precisely the second
C-SPC cancels the region activation). This is another reason to enable
cua-selection-mode by default because this will help people who use
the mark for navigational purposes.
