For fatal Motherboard errors, there are "audible beep codes". Don't know what that means in context of a modern "all-in-one" motherboard but, a couple of computers ago, when my computer failed to boot, I called a friend and had him look up the beep codes to find out "dead video card". The stock Pi doesn't have a way to beep, but there is probably an add-on for that? If you ever do add some beep codes, think about how annoying it can get if it is beeping all the time! Another problem is ill timed beeping. I had one device that decided to beep at me every night at 3 AM. I have a lot of gizmos that can beep (smoke alarm, CO2 alarm, etc.) I had to wake up at 2:50 AM several nights in a row to wait for this thing and I gradually narrowed it down to find the "unhappy device" and feed it a new battery!
