I want the remote box to beep. I want to understand where the difference 
is since the echo command executes on the remote machine regardless. How 
does ssh turn the bell off?

If a script is run via the console on a box, it beeps. Running the exact 
same script via an ssh session into that box doesn't beep. I want to use 
the noise to wake up the person next to the remote box.
