I fixed it myself! In case someone else's computer does the same thing: Even though I've been trying to fix this for weeks, just after I posted the above note I noticed that upon restarting the computer it briefly flashed a screen saying "running in Manufacturing Mode: to return to Normal mode press Fn X". Well, it took me 5 restarts to get that whole message, but it worked! I repeatedly pressed the Function key and X upon restarting, and it works like a dream. No beeping! I can type sanely again!
