Hmm... personally I'd check your six for enemy submarines. Umm... seriously though I would suspect that the beeps arn't coming from the operating system at all but are being generated by the hardware. Overheating or imminant drive failure often set some BIOS to beeping - as sort of all purpose warning light. Could something have gone awry with your box caused by the power outage?
