xset b 100?

Does that set the bell/beep volume at a hundred percent?

The man page says

 b
 ...
 If only one numerical parameter is given, the bell volume will be set to that
 value, as a percentage of its maximum.

A second numerical value would set the pitch in hertz (unrelated to car rentals).

A third would set the duration in milliseconds.

Whether this is the way to skin this cat I don't know, but something to try maybe.
I see in another of your emails that you've found speaker-test.

Here are my bell values from 'xset -q':

 bell percent:  50    bell pitch:  400    bell duration:  100

Good luck.
