Why does a normal computer beep when it starts up?
It signals the hardware is okay
Background
The short beep on start-up is called a POST beep. It tells the user that all important parts are working. If the beep is missing or repeats, something is wrong. The tiny speaker for this is often only two centimeters wide.
