Normal behavior. See the docs:

"Cross-platform note:  Windows and OS X do not execute the beep command 
if it's issued while a beep is playing. This means that if you specify a 
numberOfTimes on a Windows or OS X system, the user might hear fewer 
beeps because not all of them are sent to the speaker. To ensure that 
the user hears a specific number of beeps, use a loop with a wait 
command (where the wait time is at least as long as the beep sound's 
duration) after each beep:"
