I played with these a while back.  The audio icon in the Thinkpad folder is
the same as Fn-F5/F6.  It changes the volume of every sound coming through
the speaker.  The volume control icon in the MMPM/2 folder controls the
volume of all MMPM sounds - sound effects, WAV, but not DOS beeps.  The bell
icon controls the sound of just the MMPM sound effects (like opening
folders, shredding stuff), and has the option of assigning a different
volume to each sound.

I don't see a way to do this.  The only way to control the volume of a DOS
beep is with the Fn-F5/F6 or the Thinkpad audio icon.  Be glad you have at
least this much control over the volume, you don't even get this much on a
desktop PC.
