I think I found how to provoke the beep.  

When you are in a message area with fresh never-before read messages, and you 
start reading, the moment you open the first message addressed to you, the 
system will beep.  It will beep on the next message that is addressed to you.  

It will beep on the previously read messages too!  :(

It will only stop the beep once you've read all the messages addressed to you 
*and* you CLOSE the Area.  If you open the Area again, no beeps on your 
messages.

Not a show stopper.  I could disable Windows system sounds.  But I need the 
sounds to indicate certain things on my pc.
