It was a matter of setting a BIOS option for me. I have R60. Lenovo has the following document describe various ThinkPad BIOS settings (X40, but that doesn't matter in this case). It sheds light on all the sources of all kinds of beeps. Specifically, for volume keys it's an option in the Config-Alarm section of the BIOS: "Volume Beep [Disabled] is default, Enabled is an option. This option enables the beep to sound when you change the sound volume by pressing the Volume up/Volume down keys".
