I'm experiencing the same effect and I think it's a bug.

I have recently noticed this as well. I have seen two different cases:
1. no beeps at all during volume change
2. an occasional beep during volume change, but at most once per ~3 seconds. So if I slowly change the volume, every second or third change emits a beep. If I wait ~3 seconds between each individual adjustment, I get a beep on every change. So it's timeout-based, not number-of-adjustments-based.

This applies both to changing the volume using multimedia keys (shown in overlay) and moving the volume slider in the top right corner. So far, I haven't determined why I sometimes see case #1 and sometimes case #2.
