You don't. As you say yourself, beeping isn't really the job of a graphics API.
Of course you can write a beepExtension, if you feel like it. It's pretty

What about putch('\a'); ?

Extension or the above, or do overkill and use Wouter's LibGSI. Which will
allow you to beep with stereo effect, doppler and all.
