You are looking in the wrong place. They do not exist as a playlist.

After connecting your iPod, on the first screen that appears (with 
"Summary" tab) you will find a preference which states "Only sync 
checked items". If you check that option and *uncheck* the various iTrip 
beeps, that would seem to produce the result you are looking for. Let us 
know.
