Currently a keyserver lookup will show a progress bar with states 0%, 50% and 100%:
This should be continuous, as e.g. NVDA will be silent for quite a while without indication that Kleopatra is busy.

The 50 % is when either WKD lookup or keyserver lookup are done and the other is still running. None of those two lookups can be partially done. Hence there's no way to do something with more steps (safe for faking it with a timer). The only alternative is an unspecified progress bar, but unspecified progress bars (aka busy indicators) are completely silent as you can see in the "Loading certificate cache..." busy indicator. (NVDA's code doesn't support unspecified progress except in their own installer which has special code for this, i.e. the installer makes the sound itself.)

Ah, I see. I heard the continuous beeps with another pitch once (probably in the installer then) and thought this was possible. Shall I set this to won't fix then?

Yes, very likely it was with NVDA's (update) installer. Therefore I looked at NVDA's source code to find out how to make it work for Kleopatra just to find out that NVDA fakes it itself. I would close this ticket as won't fix.
