System bell ignoring preferences

[Dotan Cohen]

After setting the beep preference on Kubuntu 11.10, the beep sound
does not change:

$ xset q | grep bell
  bell percent:  50    bell pitch:  400    bell duration:  100
$ beep
$ sudo /usr/bin/xset b 10 400 10
$ xset q | grep bell
  bell percent:  10    bell pitch:  400    bell duration:  10
$ beep
$

The first and second beeps emitted sound the same. Is there something
that I am missing?
