First run sudo modprobe pcspkr and then beep should work.
The reason this doesn't is because by default Ubuntu no longer loads the hardware driver that produce beeps.
If this works for you then to enable the loading of pcspkr permanently edit the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file (using gksudo gedit perhaps) and comment out line that says blacklist pcspkr so it looks like this:
# ugly and loud noise, getting on everyone's nerves; this should be done by a
# nice pulseaudio bing (Ubuntu: #77010)
# blacklist pcspkr

Not being a fan of the pcspkr beep, I use a beep from one of the system sounds with the installed pulseaudio server's paplay command.
First find a sound you like (you can browse /usr/share/sounds for some available ones for example) and create a reference to it
export BEEP=/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/ringtones/Harmonics.ogg
Then have it available as a command
alias beep='paplay $BEEP'
Now just run beep whenever you need it. For example, to alert you when a command is finished:
find . | grep treasure ; beep

Playing these ogg files can result in latency orders of magnitude greater than that of the internal PC speaker beep. Not only that the latency seems highly variable. I acknowledge that most people don't care but when you need real time or near real time responsiveness the PC speaker is probably the best option for audible feedback.

To fix this problem persistently:
- Run
gconf-editorand if thedesktop | gnome | peripherals | keyboard | bell_modesetting is present then change it fromofftoon
- Run
dconf-editorand if theorg | gnome | settings-daemon | peripherals | keyboard | bell-modesetting is present then change it fromofftoon
- Add
pactl upload-sample /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/glass.ogg bell.oggto the file~/.xprofile(you needgnome-control-center-dataforglass.ogg) - Add
[ "$DISPLAY" ] && xset b 100to the file~/.bashrc
The simplest way to activate this solution is to reboot.
Further, to implement this solution immediately for a terminal window that is already open, run the pactl command and run the xset command in the terminal window in question.

Since this is a very high rated question on google, I'll add the steps I did to re-enable beep in both console and X11:
For the Linux Console (CTRL+ALT+F1...F6):
Why it does not work by default
As already answered, the pcspkr kernel driver for the PC Speaker is blacklisted in Ubuntu.
Temporarily enable until reboot:
sudo modprobe pcspkr
Automatically enable on boot:
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
(delete or comment pcspkr line by prepending it with #)
For X11 terminals (such as the default gnome-terminal)
Why it does not work by default
Under X, like when using Unity, KDE, Gnome Shell, the beep events are captured by PulseAudio thanks to module-x11-bell, which is loaded by default at /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11. And the sound sample PulseAudio plays on beep, bell.ogg, is blank by default. Additionally, the bell volume may be muted.
To temporarily enable for current session,
xset b 100 # perhaps not needed, on my system it was 40 by default
pactl upload-sample /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg bell.ogg
There are other suitable samples you can try at /usr/share/sounds, for example check the ones at /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/
Note that the beep program is not really necessary. But if installed, it uses the PC Speaker. It was the only way I could find to enable the buzzer under X:
sudo apt-get install beep
To automatically enable on boot, just add the above lines in your ~/.profile, or system-wide at /etc/profile
To test it:
printf 'a'
Beep!
beep
Buzz!

To automatically enable a pc speaker beep on boot you have to actually comment said line in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf not uncomment it (you want to disable blacklisting, not the other way around).

I've encountered this problem before. From what I remember, the problem is that the terminal bell tries to ring an internal computer speaker (as in an old-school desktop) but laptops and some newer computers are missing such a thing.
The only solution I found at the time was to sudo apt-get install sox and
play -n synth <duration in seconds> sine <freq in Hz> vol <volume (0-1)>
e.g.
play -n synth 0.1 sine 880 vol 0.5

If you have actual speakers connected to the computer and you're not getting a beep it's likely because you are using compiz. Compiz is relying on pulseaudio catching the beeps and playing them while metacity bypasses the usual setup and uses libcanberra to play a beep sound. If it works with metacity and not compiz that is your problem, otherwise the answer htorque gave is corrent.

I finally found a solution, which doesn't require alsamixer to have a PC Beep option. I think I remember all my changes:
uncomment the following in /etc/pulse/default.pa:
load-sample-lazy x11-bell /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg
load-module module-x11-bell sample=bell-windowing-system
per this bug, run pactl upload-sample /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg bell.ogg

"Beep only works if your PC has a 'speaker'. Many modern laptops / small devices don't have one".
Try playing a sound like this: play xxxxx.wav I found a nice wav file that seems to be short and sweet, but you can pick your own as well. Works for me when all else failed.

An alternative approach - set your xterm / console to "Visual Bell" so that when it would beep, the window simply inverts its colours for a short time.
I have a bash function called beep to get my attention once a command is finished.
beep () { while true; do echo -en 'a'; sleep 1; done }
And it is used this way
longrun-command ; beep

Not being a fan of the pcspkr beep, I use a beep from one of the system sounds with the installed pulseaudio server's paplay command.
First find a sound you like (you can browse /usr/share/sounds for some available ones for example) and create a reference to it
export BEEP=/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/ringtones/Harmonics.ogg
Then have it available as a command
alias beep='paplay $BEEP'
Now just run beep whenever you need it. For example, to alert you when a command is finished:
find . | grep treasure ; beep

You might need some read command in a while loop or some other library that can monitore keystrokes.

Nice! I useexport BEEP=/usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/dialog-information.oggandalias beep='paplay $BEEP --volume=32768'now, that works well for me. (Note that you can override the volume with thebeepalias, e.g.beep --volume=15000plays at volume of -12dB.)

Playing these ogg files can result in latency orders of magnitude greater than that of the internal PC speaker beep. Not only that the latency seems highly variable. I acknowledge that most people don't care but when you need real time or near real time responsiveness the PC speaker is probably the best option for audible feedback.

To fix this problem persistently:
- Run
gconf-editorand if thedesktop | gnome | peripherals | keyboard | bell_modesetting is present then change it fromofftoon
- Run
dconf-editorand if theorg | gnome | settings-daemon | peripherals | keyboard | bell-modesetting is present then change it fromofftoon
- Add
pactl upload-sample /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/glass.ogg bell.oggto the file~/.xprofile(you needgnome-control-center-dataforglass.ogg) - Add
[ "$DISPLAY" ] && xset b 100to the file~/.bashrc
The simplest way to activate this solution is to reboot.
Further, to implement this solution immediately for a terminal window that is already open, run the pactl command and run the xset command in the terminal window in question.

Since this is a very high rated question on google, I'll add the steps I did to re-enable beep in both console and X11:
For the Linux Console (CTRL+ALT+F1...F6):
Why it does not work by default
As already answered, the pcspkr kernel driver for the PC Speaker is blacklisted in Ubuntu.
Temporarily enable until reboot:
sudo modprobe pcspkr
Automatically enable on boot:
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
(delete or comment pcspkr line by prepending it with #)
For X11 terminals (such as the default gnome-terminal)
Why it does not work by default
Under X, like when using Unity, KDE, Gnome Shell, the beep events are captured by PulseAudio thanks to module-x11-bell, which is loaded by default at /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11. And the sound sample PulseAudio plays on beep, bell.ogg, is blank by default. Additionally, the bell volume may be muted.
To temporarily enable for current session,
xset b 100 # perhaps not needed, on my system it was 40 by default
pactl upload-sample /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg bell.ogg
There are other suitable samples you can try at /usr/share/sounds, for example check the ones at /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/
Note that the beep program is not really necessary. But if installed, it uses the PC Speaker. It was the only way I could find to enable the buzzer under X:
sudo apt-get install beep
To automatically enable on boot, just add the above lines in your ~/.profile, or system-wide at /etc/profile
To test it:
printf 'a'
Beep!
beep
Buzz!

To automatically enable a pc speaker beep on boot you have to actually comment said line in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf not uncomment it (you want to disable blacklisting, not the other way around).

Under X, like when using Unity, KDE, Gnome Shell, the beep events are captured by PulseAudio thanks to module-x11-bell, which is loaded by default at /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11. And the sound sample PulseAudio plays on beep, bell.ogg, is blank by default. Additionally, the bell volume may be muted.
To temporarily enable for current session,
xset b 100 # perhaps not needed, on my system it was 40 by default
pactl upload-sample /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg bell.ogg
There are other suitable samples you can try at /usr/share/sounds, for example check the ones at /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/
Note that the beep program is not really necessary. But if installed, it uses the PC Speaker. It was the only way I could find to enable the buzzer under X:
sudo apt-get install beep
To automatically enable on boot, just add the above lines in your ~/.profile, or system-wide at /etc/profile
To test it:
printf 'a'
Beep!
beep
Buzz!

To automatically enable a pc speaker beep on boot you have to actually comment said line in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf not uncomment it (you want to disable blacklisting, not the other way around).

I've encountered this problem before. From what I remember, the problem is that the terminal bell tries to ring an internal computer speaker (as in an old-school desktop) but laptops and some newer computers are missing such a thing.
The only solution I found at the time was to sudo apt-get install sox and
play -n synth <duration in seconds> sine <freq in Hz> vol <volume (0-1)>
e.g.
play -n synth 0.1 sine 880 vol 0.5

If you have actual speakers connected to the computer and you're not getting a beep it's likely because you are using compiz. Compiz is relying on pulseaudio catching the beeps and playing them while metacity bypasses the usual setup and uses libcanberra to play a beep sound. If it works with metacity and not compiz that is your problem, otherwise the answer htorque gave is corrent.

I finally found a solution, which doesn't require alsamixer to have a PC Beep option. I think I remember all my changes:
uncomment the following in /etc/pulse/default.pa:
load-sample-lazy x11-bell /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg
load-module module-x11-bell sample=bell-windowing-system
per this bug, run pactl upload-sample /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg bell.ogg

"Beep only works if your PC has a 'speaker'. Many modern laptops / small devices don't have one".
Try playing a sound like this: play xxxxx.wav I found a nice wav file that seems to be short and sweet, but you can pick your own as well. Works for me when all else failed.

Try playing a sound like this: play xxxxx.wav I found a nice wav file that seems to be short and sweet, but you can pick your own as well. Works for me when all else failed.

An alternative approach - set your xterm / console to "Visual Bell" so that when it would beep, the window simply inverts its colours for a short time.
I have a bash function called beep to get my attention once a command is finished.
beep () { while true; do echo -en 'a'; sleep 1; done }
And it is used this way
longrun-command ; beep
