Which version of Workstation are you using? The beep should only occur if there is a problem during boot. Certain VM configurations with Workstation 10.0.0 and 10.0.1 had a problem with boot device selection and would beep if there were no bootable IDE devices in the system; That problem was corrected in Workstation 10.0.2 and newer.
If you're encountering beeps on boot with a newer version of Workstation, please post the VM's vmware.log as an attachment here (just look for the Attach button in the lower-right corner when composing a reply).
Cheers,
