Luther>         "com.apple.sound.beep.volume" = 0.9972414;

It's an element of "Apple Global Domain", so

  defaults -currentHost read "Apple Global Domain" com.apple.sound.beep.sound

reads it and

  defaults -currentHost write "Apple Global Domain" com.apple.sound.beep.sound /System/Library/Sounds/Bottle.aiff

in fact changed my beep sound to Bottle.  No need for grepping.
