Thank you all for your incredible effort. I have had success with the instructions in these comments.
The system bell is very important for me as well. I have scripts and programs that run when the user is not sitting at the computer or even looking at it, and in a relatively noisy environment. A bell with volume and without lag or rate adjustment is essential for me. When I get the system bell, I have no control over the volume, and the duration parameter 'beeps' twice as long as xset q would indicate. Is this the same behavior you are getting?
