Readline defaults to a visual bell, using the terminal's `vb' capability.
You can set the readline `bell-style' variable to `audible' to change that.
If you do, make sure your terminal emulator does something reasonable with
the ^G character.

rk. Ctrl-c doesn't work. Ctrl-z doesn't work.

I just can't reproduce this. (Though there's no reason to expect ^Z to have
any effect, since we're not running a separate job here.)

Why would a message be appropriate here? It seems to me that the visible or
audible bell is the right indicator.
