When something is wrong with hardware and it cannot boot normally, the pattern of beeps can hint you what part exactly malfunctions.

If your PC beeps when everything is OK, then, well, it’s just another pattern, telling you that the parts, one by one, are OK. So in that case if something isn’t right, someone who knows the beeps code can listen and figure out like “uh-huh, the chipset is OK, the CPU is OK, oh, the RAM isn’t, let’s check it”.
