from the xset man page:

  b       The  b  option  controls bell volume, pitch and duration.  This
          option accepts up to three numerical  parameters,  a  preceding
          dash(-),  or  a  'on/off' flag.  If no parameters are given, or
          the 'on' flag is used, the system defaults will  be  used.   If
          the  dash  or 'off' are given, the bell will be turned off.  If
          only one numerical parameter is given, the bell volume will  be
          set  to  that value, as a percentage of its maximum.  Likewise,
          the second numerical parameter specifies  the  bell  pitch,  in
          hertz, and the third numerical parameter specifies the duration
          in milliseconds. 

i like to set mine to A 440.  try:

xset b 10 440 10
