How can one replace the beep sound that Windows 7 makes when for example one types echo, Ctrl+G,Enter in a cmd window?
(There is no option to change it in the System Sounds GUI.)

Are you referring to the System Beep? If so:
Right click the Computer icon located on your desktop, or in the Start Menu. Then, select Manage from the drop-down list or open the Run dialog and type compmgmt.msc or search for Computer Management.
From the Computer Management window, go to 'System tools -> Device Manager'.
In the View menu dropdown select 'Show hidden devices'.
Expand the list of devices under 'Non-Plug and Play Drivers' and select Beep.
Right click the 'Beep' item and select Properties.
- In the 'Beep Properties' window, go to the Driver tab.
In the Startup section, scroll down the Type list, select Disable and click the OK button.
Now restart your computer.
After a restart, the system beep should be disabled. Original source with images here.

@Kalmi Sorry! Misread the question. I can't find a way of changing the actual sound online, although there probably is a solution available.– AruAkiseJul 28, 2012 at 17:09
