The problem is definitely 100% in 4.4.0-28-generic.

I installed Ubuntu 16.04 on a different computer and the beep worked properly. It initially had only 4.4.0-21-generic under /lib/modules/ then updated to 4.4.0-28 and the problem immediately started on that machine.

I'm going to assume it was this package responsible:
linux-image-extra-4.4.0-28-generic
version 4.4.0-28.47
Linux kernel extra modules for version 4.4.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP.

Note in the package changelog attached at line 14362 that reads:

  * [Config] Disable CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_BEEP_MODE by default
