edit /etc/grub.conf.  A commented line near the bottom of the file has
TUNE on it all upper-case.  Uncomment that line then run follow
instructions in top of the file to update grub configuration, then
reboot.

Re: syslinux beep

Th question was about syslinux, not Grub.

Here is how it is done in Slint's installers when using syslinux:

The config file (whose name ends in .cfg) includes this line:
DISPLAY BEEP
BEEP is an ASCII file, stored in the same directory, with just
two characters:
^G
This is the "beep" sound.
When you boot you hear the beep. 

As an aside, if using Grub2, you'd uncomment this line in
/etc/default/grub:
#GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"
Just removing the leading #
Then run:
update-grub
or grub-config -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
(this assumes that grub is already installed, else
you'd need to run grub-install after that).

Best,
Didier
