I don't know the CLI equivalent. If you click on the volume control
properties and then highlight the pc speaker choice, echo -e \\007
will result in a beep. I messed with the settings a moment ago after
the posting related to the volume settings.
There is a slide control to set the pc speaker volume on the open
volume control.
That's interesting, because the hardware has no possiblity
of actually changing the volume. It's a bit port with a
timer channel attached.

My beep is through the sound card. I had to adjust it once and it was
all that was needed. Without adjusting the volume control initially, I
did not get a beep when trying to echo \\007. I tried post-configuration
without needing to do anything more than modprobe pcspkr.
