Disable system beep on logout:
go to /etc/modprobe.d/pc-speaker.conf
See if in there it has:
blacklist snd-pcsp
blacklist pcspkr

Since this thread is not too old I'm giving it a bump as I have the exact same problem. I checked the suggestions above and the file has sound blacklisted as Eadwine suggests, and hashed out as male mentions, but I still get a loud beep when I click on logout.
Any help appreciated.

What kernel are you using?
Quick System Info would probably help as well.

If I remove 'prompt at logout' the beep disappears, but I don't really want it to always logout, sometimes I want the shutdown option.
Edit: tried doing this and just using an action button set to shutdown and it still beeps :(

I tried that 'xset b off' and it had no effect. I can hold the power button and it shuts off without a beep. I found a startup setting for 'beep on startup' and disabled that to no effect. I think I had this problem awhile back on this computer and found a solution, but my searches are bringing me no joy so far :(
