Rebooting will not make it go away. "/sbin/rmmod -as" is being run by cron
from the file "/etc/cron.d/kmod". I am not sure why your computer is beeping
at you, but if rmmod is causing it, then it is probably because it is
generating an error, and is mailing it to root. Do you have root logged in on
another console, with a mail check going? Check root's mail, and see if you
have e mail from cron about errors when running rmmod.
