May be the mainboards on board speaker, if it was a desktop I'd say open the case and unplug it, but on a laptop its way to risky.
Could be a moving part making the noise, try it by proceess of eliminaton,such as removing te cd drive etc, alternatively a button on your keyboard may be stuck down which is causing the speaker to beep.
The fan is a possible cause also.
