This is actually a "feature" in metacity:
http://git.gnome.org/cgit/metacity/tree/src/core/display.c#n2387
It limits bell events to once per second.
It was added due to this:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=322032 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170006
I do think that rate limiting is probably a good idea though once per second is a bit to much of a limitation, and I was annoyed of this myself too.
Will reassign now. The metacity folks should decide if increasing the rate limit from 1/s to maybe 1/100ms would be ok.
Davide, you probably should open a upstream bug about this too. Even better, provide a patch.
