From the manual pages

XkbDeviceBell would just call XBell in that instance, unless they had
turned it off or they had their X server set up to respond differently
to that event. In fact, it seems that both events get called most of the
time unless you use XkbDeviceForceBell or have AudibleBell set to off.
