I was trying to find the lines that start gdm [gnome-session](xdm,kdm) but I cant find them in xinitrc,/etc/X11/Xsession and I dont have any home .xsession file. Are the beeps related to X starting?IMHO : no. Try to connect something at the USB bus, before mutting the speaker. I'm not sure, but you'll hear a beep every time you connect or disconnect a device.
I was just thinking the same thing. If you have usbmgr installed (and it probably is since you are getting beeps), it will beep for the usb hub(s) even if there is nothing connected to it/them. And right at the time that the starting/not starting gdm/kdm/x/cupsd/whatever messages are appearing on your screen.
The fix is to edit /etc/usbmgr/usbmgr.conf and uncomment the line: #beep offRead the docs for better info on other changes that you can make to this file... (mine is down to about 10 lines from the original)
