Is beep zero-based?

[Dan Shafer]

I know I'm getting old and my hearing is probably faulty but on OS X at  
least, it seems that beep 2 always produces one beep, beep 3 always  
produces 2, etc. A beep by itself also produces one beep.

Am I going nuts or is this either a bug or at least a departure from  
what one would expect?
