The thread veered off-topic, but since I don't see a solution yet,
I'll give it a shot. A long shot, but hey...

Try finding out your X settings: in a terminal, issue

  xset q

That's what happens on my box:

 | tomas@rasputin:~$ xset q
 | Keyboard Control:
 |   auto repeat:  on    key click percent:  0    LED mask:  00000000
 |   XKB indicators:
 [...]
 |   bell percent:  0    bell pitch:  400    bell duration:  100
 [...]

(some output elided)

If you have "bell percent" set to 0, you might try

  xset b

or something similar. That wouldn't explain that "beep" actually
(uh) beeps (did I say that it was a long shot?), but worth trying.

Cheers
