If you have RedHat, edit /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt:

  # Now halt or reboot.
  echo "$message"
  [ -f /fastboot ] && echo "On the next boot fsck will be skipped."
+ echo -e '\a'
  eval $command -d

If you don't want it to beep on reboot, adjust script to suit.  The above
works in bash, maybe different for your flavor of shell. Slackware is
similiar but /etc/rc.d/rc.0 instead.
