This may or may not work (also, depending on version, so YMMV).

In your cfg:

DISPLAY boot.msg

The DISPLAY directive should "show" the content of boot.msg immediately 
when Syslinux boots.

In the boot.msg file, use the ASCII 7 code:
 http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Config#Beep 

Other options in boot.msg might be convenient too.

Remainder: lss16 background images are not working since v.5+.
