Documents are wrong then I would say. ?? outputs to active window, current cursor position ("set alternate", "set print" etc also effect and might be a blockage for outputting).
? does line feed before output, ?? doesn't.
chr(7) is simply a nonprintable character "dinging" bell. If you suspect chr(7) itself is responsible replace it with something else ie: "x". If it works w/o error, check your sound system from control panel.
