I do huge numbers of installations and even more boots of the installer during development. It's also annoying for people using automated testing setups as they'd have random beeps coming out of their test systems, but I'll let Joey comment on that. I could see myself agreeing if you can come up with an implementation that only includes the beep for official builds (i.e. the addition of the beep is triggered by something in debian/rules). We'd also need some assurance that it does not break installs using serial console and on systems using management devices (like HP's iLO [1]). This means it needs to be tested for such cases before the change is committed. Getting it tested would be up to you (accessibility people), though we can possibly point you to people you could contact for that.
