You should be able to add (or uncomment by removing the leading "#") a line like GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1" in /etc/default/grub followed by running "update-grub" as root (or via sudo). Those numbers can be expanded to play a tune (the first number is the tempo where 60 is a 1-second base, 120 is a half-second base; followed by pairs of frequency-in-hertz and the duration). If you want to get crazy, some folks have done the Mario Brothers tune as the boot beep http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/8275/grub2-set-super-mario-as-startup-tune Hope it gives you hours of fun.
