I have yet to see a PC BIOS that does not do this.... It is the way that
the motherboard communicates a problem when the problem prevents normal
communication (like text on the screen). It could be as simple as a
mis-seated memory stick, or as serious as a damaged interface chip. The
newer Dell's 'beep' when they see a non-Dell keyboard attached, even though
the keybord works fine! Since you don't hear anything, then there is no
problem to report.

I have two WinXP PC's (Compaq and eMachines), which don't sound out
beep codes. Is this an option or are they just turned off? Are beep
codes no longer needed?
