I remember speakerectomy being a thing circa 15-20 year ago, to reliably get rid of the console beep. Most MB still have speaker connections, just have nothing connected to it by default. A couple of years ago I bought a speaker off Amazon (actually a pack of 12 for 1£ as that was the minimum order) just to decode the POST beep when troubleshooting some overclocking issues. Of course I promptly removed it when finished.
