Completely randomly, my laptop sometimes emits a loud PC speaker beep while rebooting/powering off Fedora 37. The beep is very strong, and as a PC speaker sound, it of course ignores any configured volume level, mute status, and even headphones plugged in. I fortunately am in a different room than the rest of my family sleeps in, but if I were in the same room, and were I just a regular user, this would probably be the last day of Fedora on that laptop. The beep is that loud and uncomfortable, especially at night.
I wonder if somebody else running F37 noticed it as well? Any hints what might cause it and how we can fix it? It never happened on F36 on the same laptop.
Thanks, Kamil

Same here. Lenovo P1, and after upgrading to F37 beta it started to emit that terrifying beep when I hit GNOME Software's "Restart and Update" (or whatever it's labeled exactly) button.

What might be relevant here is that apparently the reboot is directly initiated now after hitting the "Restart & Update" button in GNOME Software, and the second step of a Mutter (I guess) "Restart & Install Updates" confirmation dialog is gone.

Sorry, ignore me here, I apparently misremembered: Just checked again, and the second step "Restart & Install Updates" confirmation dialog is still there, and the terrifying beep is emitted after pressing that confirmation dialog's "Restart & Install" button.
A few months ago I noticed some reports about such an issue, I think it's related to systemd v251. Here are some links and a proposed workaround:

Thank you, this was very helpful! I reported a systemd bug here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2129387
