Looking at it's implementation in FPC 2.4.0-rc1 (Linux) I can indeed see
why it doesn't beep. :-)

--------------------------
procedure Beep;
begin
end;
--------------------------


As David suggested, simply write #7 character to the console and it will
beep.  I wonder if we can't use that for the Linux sysutils.beep
implementation.
