If I understand correctly, you're saying that the regular DVD does beep, but
the DVD with non-free firmware doesn't. Exactly which DVD image did you
download?
I'm asking because if one image is beeping and the other isn't, you've found
a bug and it should be reported. My understanding is that all CD and DVD
images from stable should beep, regardless of whether they include non-free
firmware. If you downloaded from testing, there is no beep and that is
expected. DDs who do multiple installs with testing didn't want to be
bothered by hearing a beep potentially dozens of times, so it is disabled
for testing and unstable.

It's possible to use these for accessible installs however the boot
procedure is a little different. The firmware disks do not beep at the grub
prompt. However if you hit s just as you hear the dvd start spinning up and
then hit enter, you will have speech over the sound card shortly. The first
time the disk just spun up so I powered down and decided to try what I just
wrote and it does work. I was able to configure the wifi network with the
disk I downloaded so will be doing a reinstall of the laptop later today.
