I don't think the SE/30 does it.  It is there so you can check out a machine
without having to put a video card in.  Since the SE/30 has a built in
monitor, I don't think they need that feature.  Apple DOES produce a program
which plays the noises and tells what they do.  I can mail it to anyone who
wants it.
