I've learned that this command:

echo -e "a"

triggers a beep on the local system, whereas this command:

echo -e "a" >/dev/console

triggers a beep on a remote system.

Why is this? What is the >/dev/console part doing?

Why is it that executing echo -e "a" on a remote machine triggers the beep locally and not remote ?

Why does "echo" - command don't like sudo ?

Is there a OSI-Layer - like scheme ? Please provide me with some external documentation.

I have only a basic understandig of redirecting stdout/stderr to a file not
much more, but the question more likely refers to how is
"Gnu/Linux/Kernel" designed in order to requiere redirrection to

" > /dev/console"

for a remote beep to work out.

Does a remote echo "Hello World" requiere a redirection to /dev/console ?
