The first question: Does your computer "beep" under other circumstances?
It's very likely that Linux Mint disables the beep by default. What is
the result the following command produce?
lsmod | grep pcspkr
If pcspkr is enabled, you might want check the value of the following
options with M-x describe-variable....
visible-bell
ring-bell-function
Best,
Matt
