Starting in Windows 7, and in 64-bit versions of previous operating systems, the answer is no, you cannot always do a hardware beep. Larry Osterman explains why.
You can have a beep, but the core functionality moved into the Windows audio subsystem; so it would play through headphones if they are plugged in. As far as I know, there is no way to forcefully do a hardware beep in all cases in modern operating systems.
You can still perform a Beep using
Console.Beep().
