Thanks. Unfortunately, that makes no sound at all! The pcspkr module is loaded:
$ lsmod | grep pcspkr
pcspkr                 12702  0

And I made sure that the bell is on:

$ xset b on

But still no sound! I also tried echo ^V^G but no bell either. Why
might that be?

Thanks, I don't need it in the virtual console.
