well     System Settings > Sound & Multimedia > System Notifications
select the application , and decide what knotifications you want it to sound 
not shure if it will allow the system bell to be controled in that menu but 
you could always use a single wav or ogg file for all events that makes the 
same sound as the system bell 
but that will only enable or disable it for all instances of konsole 

if you realy want you could install KTTSD and have it speak a message ether a 
default or custom message when a Knotify event happens

the config files are in ~/.kde
the rc file for konsole is in ~/.kde/share/config  
where  ~ is the path to your users home dir   /home/user for example 

although there should  be the option to save a configuration as the 
applications  default profile 
settings > save as defaults should do that for you
