Richard has already supported beep in g-p-m . Possibly due to this bug,  
it doesn't work on your Ubuntu .
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=507789
Next release will include this patch.

Also, you can define its gconf policy from g-p-p.
- run $gnome-power-preference
- Select"General" Tab->"Extra"
- Tick "Use sound to notify in event of an error"

And then, it beeps in 5 cases, i.e when lid is closed, lid is opened, 
critical low power, AC is unplugged and suspend fails.
