I don't think the privilege escalation policy directly places any
restrictions on beeping;  the 'behavior of the system "as a whole"'
clause can perhaps be interpreted as related.

I think it's undesirable to allow any remote user to annoy people who
are in the same room as the computer; on the other hand I'd personally
have nothing at all against allowing users logged in locally to beep as
they want.  This would be easiest to implement using consolehelper, look
how the "eject" command does it.
