I forgot to reply to this part of the message.  I have been running F37
since it was rawhide, and have never heard this beep.  But, I'm running
a desktop, so that might make a difference.  And a question.  Are you
sure this is the PC speaker, and not something sending sound to the
sound device during startup?  Does the sound come from the speakers or
does it come from the internals of the PC?  The PC speaker is on the
MB, so should only be heard from inside the case.

I run a custom kernel, and I have the config options for the speaker
set as follows:

CONFIG_HAVE_PCSPKR_PLATFORM=y
CONFIG_PCSPKR_PLATFORM=y
# CONFIG_INPUT_PCSPKR is not set

I think the last option means the pcspkr is disabled.

If you go to /boot, and run the following on the last config file,
grep -i spk config-[kernelversion]
what does it show?
