Nope.  Your instructions didn't work.

I see that. 

My left hand panel of the System Notifications window has an item called
"System Bell".   It has an option to Use bell instead of system
notification and then lets one set the volume, pitch and duration.
I've tried setting them, but it doesn't work. 

When does this become a bug ?

Thanks
