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.
