+>The system bell or beep is a feature of the X server, which attempts to make good use of the available hardware. </para>

+<para
+>&kde; normally doesn't use the system bell; instead using its own system notifications, which could include log entries, message popups, or its own beep. You can configure these in the <guilabel
+>System Notifications</guilabel
+> &kcontrol; module.</para>
+
+<note
+><para
+>It isn't always possible for the X server to actually make a beep sound with exactly the parameters selected due to hardware limitations. For example, on most PCs, volume control is not very good so the X server seems to fake low volume with a reduced duration of the sound. Thus, if the settings don't seem to do anything, this is because the X server and/or the hardware don't support anything better.</para
