For me M-x keyboard-quit beeps identically to C-g.  I wonder why your
M-x keyboard-quit does not beep?

Here is some trivia.  If you run emacs in a terminal and then send
that terminal emacs the INT signal 2 then it will beep and report
"Quit" in minibuffer just the same as C-g.  C-g is really just the
same as a tty interrupt.  I am specific about in a terminal because an
X graphics emacs receiving signal 2 INT exits.
