Ctrl + Alt + F2
log in as user and run:
                        printf "\a"
Ctrl + Alt + F7

You could also use a GUI terminal emulation to run   printf "\a"  , but
you need to ensure that the bell for the GUI terminal emulation is
enabled. For roxterm:

  Preferences > Edit Current Profile > General > [x] Audio Bell

Or for xfce4-terminal ensure that in
~/.config/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc there is the MiscBell entry: 

  MiscBell=TRUE

Instead of running printf "\a", you also could simply press the
"cursor left"-key.

If you don't hear a beep, then either a module isn't loaded or the bell
is disabled by other settings, see
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Disable_PC_speaker_beep and don't
worry, this unlikely is different for Ubuntu.
