Thank you for your report. This bugreport though has nothing to do with the beep package. The settings you change have no influence over what the beep utility emits. Please be referred to the manual page of beep on how to change the duration (-l switch). You can't change the loudness via beep itself, that might be a setting in your sound card's preferences, depending on whether you allow your system to directly use the pc speaker or have it only emulated.
