No, sorry.  We did a bunch of research on the shrillest, most annoying tone 
we could fine and it's hard-coded ;).

I don't think I'd mind the bell so much if there were some way to control the 
volume of it! The bell exists on other operating systems at the console, but I 
don't remember being nearly as loud as it is in Solaris. I don't suppose there 
is already a way to do that, or a way that could be finagled in with this, is 
there? :)
