An interesting question about "print '\a'"

[Anthony Liu]

We know that if we do

print '\a'

the bell will sound.

Now, why do I hear the sound on my local machine when
I run a python script on a remote host?

I understand if I hear it when I do 

print '\a'

on my local machine.

Does the command get sent back to the client machine?

Thanks.
