Curious is that inside GNOME I can't get the system beep, e.g.:

echo -e "\a" 

Procudes no sound when runned from gnome-terminal but works when I go to 
tty1 :-?

Ha! :-)

But this is indeed something coming from GMD (or from the GNOME side) 
because I get no beep when I fall into "init 1" and run from there 
"shutdown -r now".
