This behavior is controlled by the option EvaluationCompletionAction.
To enable this setting for the front end in general, evaluate the
following command:
SetOptions[$FrontEnd, EvaluationCompletionAction -> {"Beep"}]
If you just want it to apply to the current working notebook, evaluate
the following command in that notebook:
SetOptions[SelectedNotebook, EvaluationCompletionAction -> {"Beep"}]
This option may also be modified using the front end Option Inspector
dialog with the scope indicator set to "global" or "notebook"
respectively.
