I think of the beep command in Rev as one of the things that has been included for backward compatibility. New users would have no way of knowing about the legacy features, and the docs do not cover every nuance, nook and crany, so it *is* more of an exercise in trivia. A very good reason for this list and its activity.
The beep command is generally useful enough that it should be expected to work, legacy or no.
But in recent years the number of times computers beep at you has greatly declined; these days the beep is used only in the rarest of data-loss confirmations.
And it's nearly unheard of to beep at a user multiple times; I suspect this rarity is why any issues with multi-beep sequences hasn't been discovered before.
Users have a difficult enough life as it is, why would we want to beep at them multiple times?
