I have no idea why this is happening, I've noticed some sporadic unique and
short beeps trough the last days, but today I ran "aptitude" and got scared
on how many beeps my machine was making (I even thought my no-break was
going nuts, but confirmed it was the PC and related to apt).
The beeps start right after "sudo aptitude update" or "sudo apt-get upgrade"
(even if there's nothing to be upgraded), and ceases when I get the prompt
back.

I tried to google this but didn't find anything relevant.

This is the beep:
