I *love* the pc speaker. It is the only kind of application alert sound I
actually want to use.

Of course, I want it to be only when I command it, not other people, but
it is still amazingly awesome.

My computer uses different tones of beeps to tell me about IMs, emails,
and other quick alerts.

Try rmmod pcspkr to turn it off and modprobe pcspkr to turn it back on.
