I noticed this behavior too, and it really irritated me until I
figured out how to fix it.
In my case, I had a line in .xinitrc that read:
xset b 50 440 100
#xset b[ell] [volume] [pitch] [duration]
Apparently, in previous versions of OpenBSD and/or X.Org/Xenocara
the wsconsctl options overrode that. I fixed it my case by
changing that line to the following:
xset b 0 440 100
I'm not sure if that counts as a "fix" or or "quick hack", but it
stopped the beeping for me.
