Use the source, Luke! (if you can figure it out...)
The help has already been quoted, but for me, with
beeping enabled and 'emacs -Q', (keyboard-quit) beeps
regardless how I invoke it ("from Lisp" and with M-x).
Here is how to disable the beeping - and enabling, for
the sake of testing:
# in X
xset -b
xset b on
# Linux VT (virtual terminal)/console/tty
setterm -term linux -blength 0 > `tty` # or, e.g., /dev/tty1
setterm -term linux -blength 100 > `tty` # 0 and 100 are durations
