Unless something is strange about your copy of ProDOS, all you should hear
is a speaker click.  I once read that writing to the speaker clicks it
twice (and that you're always supposed to LDA $c030), so perhaps your
speaker gets in the other position (there are two if I remember) and it
sounds a tad different.  To sum up: ProDOS just toggles the speaker,
perhaps for some effect that emulates a mainframe or something similarly
impressive, but anything I said beyond that is just theorizing (and
probably wrong...)
