No. You will not be able to hear the beep codes. I think you are referring to the Boot error Beep codes. This guide will turn those off (for those that want a silent PC), but if there is a problem booting and you want the beeps back simply Clear the CMOS (if you don't know how to clear the CMOS and you are concerned about losing the boot error beep codes, then I wouldn't suggest turning off the beeps on your computer)
What about trouble shooting codes?

If you turn these beeps off will you be able to hear the motherboard beep codes if there is a problem with hardware?
