I believe it is because CDE desktop is trying to find a display for
dtlogin. We have a room full of headless workstations and turn off the
beep with:

/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc stop_msg
/sbin/init.d/dtlogin.rc stop
ch_rc -a -pDESKTOP=none /etc/rc.config.d/desktop

We wrap the above commands in an SD configure script, put it in a depot
and then
it is swinstalled. That way it can be included in automated processes
that are using swinstall.

    title Turn off CDE beep
    description On workstations without a graphics top (like test
machines) the
dtlogin daemon beeps continually. This drives you to the brink if you
are in the test area for more than a few minutes. So this product shuts
down the daemon and modifies the rc config file to not start it again
on reboot.
