What happens if you switch to a text-mode terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F2, or
reboot in init level 3) and get the terminal to beep?

Are you sure that the terminal you usually use isn’t trying to use
modern sound hardware if it’s available (so we can have MP3 ringtone
beeps instead of 1970s beeps)?

*Which* terminal, anyway? There are at least seven I can think of.

Hope this helps,

James (who turns all the beeps off).
