So I red the 'man beep' and try out command 
 # chmod 4755 /usr/bin/beep

but that doesn't help.

$ ls -l /usr/bin/beep 
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root audio 10120 2009 dec   21 /usr/bin/beep

and my user account 'csanyipal' is a member of groups:
$ groups csanyipal
csanyipal : csanyipal lp dialout cdrom floppy audio video plugdev 

It's really annoying that beep doesn't works out of the box. :)
