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

procedure Beep;

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.
No, because you don't know if a terminal is available or whether standard
output is writable.
