   X11 beep default volume?

   I had a user complaining about a program chiming when he clicked the   
   mouse on a graph. I couldn't reproduce this apparent bug.   
   It is an X11/Motif program, and they require Num Lock off to do any   
   mouse picking. Now I did the command   
   xset b 99   
   to turn on beeps when clicking. So I ran the program with Num Lock on   
   and  now got beeps. The user was running Ubuntu. I have mostly used   
   Centos and a few other distros, and never noticed any beep before.   
   So I presume the default was beeps off except for Ubuntu?
