For the replacement you could try:
normal xi
For the 'beep' I guess echomsg "ERROR" for a visual message, or
something like:
silent ! printf "\a"
to make an ascii bell. Substitute the command after the ! to play a
sound if you want that. You will probably need to do a :redraw or a
:redrawstatus afterwards.
