I am curious and humble to ask: What is the purpose of a BEEP?

Subject: Beep on WIndows 11
Apologies if this is not a Python question.
I recently moved from a WIndows 10 laptop to a Windows 11 one.
Although there is nothing wrong with the sound on the new machine (I can listen
to podcasts and watch videos), I find that outputting "\a" to the console (aka
stdout) no longer beeps (or makes any sound). This is true whether I print
"\a" from a python program, or "type <a-file-containing-a-bell-character>".
I have found via Google workarounds such as
os.system("rundll32 user32.dll,MessageBeep") but it is a trifle annoying
to have to modify all of my programs that beep.
Can anyone shed light on this, and perhaps give a simpler fix?
Best wishes
Rob Cliffe
