if the beep comes from the keyboard, there is no volume on a keyboards.
some older like alfascope had it.
use tape on the beeper til you are satisfied.
i guess pc's bel comes from the internal speaker dont know if it does
volume.

furder reading is $ man ascii
the character 7 is the <bel>

in a terminal window press <ctrl>+<g>
adjust with tape ;-)
