It works there because "tput" is a command that queries the terminal.
If it is not executed from a terminal, it won't work.

No, you don't need a script. You can make sure that your command is
executed in a terminal:
<my-terminal> -e "tput bel"
where <my-terminal> is for example xterm, or gnome-terminal, or
whatever.
On the other hand, this will have an annoying terminal window pop up
briefly.
Possibly the easiest solution is to install the "beep" program, which
lets you beep in all frequencies and morse-code sequences you can
possibly think of, and which does not need a terminal to do so.
