Thanks. One final question: Could you please try booting Ubuntu 17.04 (no need to install it) and see if the bug occurs in the live session there? If not then this would probably be a duplicate of bug 1585084.

They have no defined pattern. I thought it was the pc speaker so I disabled from BIOS but it doesn't change anything. I realized that the beeps are emitted by the soundcard because when I can listen it by headphones when I connect them. Sometimes the sound tray icon blinks at the sound of the beeps. The patterns of beeps changes randomly at every machine restart. -Not beep at all. -Beep every minute -Beep every second. -Sometimes the beeps lower their frequency when I play some video in firefox. Seems to be worst when the battery is low, but this is not a ruler. If you have problems figuring my situation, check this video of the issue https://youtu.be/GetcRSn2OJ4 For me, it's enough to find a way to mute these annoying beeps.
