Start up to the epic tune of "The Final Countdown" by the band Europe :)
Open as root the file /etc/default/grub, uncomment the line starting with "GRUB_INIT_TUNE"
It should like this:
# Uncomment to get a beep at grub start
GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 554 1 494 1 554 4 370 6 10 3 587 1 554 1 587 2 554 2 494 6 10 3 587 1 554 1 587 4 370 4 415 6 494 1 440 1 494 2 440 2 415 2 494 2 440 6 415 1 440 1 494 6 440 1 494 1 554 2 494 2 440 2 415 2 370 4 587 4 554 8 10 1 554 1 587 1 554 1 494 1 554 8 10 2"
