You guys were all correct. I downloaded and used the "beep" command. No beep. The kernel was most likely to be the cause. I invoked the kernel config menu and searched "PC speaker". It was in Device Drivers -> Input device support -> Misc -> PC speaker support. I turned this switch on, recompiled and installed the kernel, and restarted the workstation. Then I got the beep back! Does the fact that this switch is off by default mean that people in general don't like beeps or that people use other advanced bells?
