The tones mean that you have a SIMM problem (one or more memory chips have
gone bad).  A good Apple technician can recognize the tones over the phone
and tell you which SIMM in which bank is bad.  A standard Mac technician
will tell you to swap them out one at a time with known good SIMMs until you
find the culprit.

(A bad Mac technician will tell you the musical tones are an added feature
of the Mac II line and you should sit back and enjoy them... :-) )
