On Windows  if you want to just make the computer make a beep sound   import winsound frequency   2500    Set Frequency To 2500 Hertz duration   1000    Set Duration To 1000 ms    1 second winsound Beep frequency  duration    The winsound Beep   can be used wherever you want the beep to occur

I was searching for the same but for Linux shell   The topic brought me to an answer  -thanks-  Maybe more pythonic manner    import os beep   lambda x  os system  echo -n   a  sleep 0 2     x  beep 3    Notes     the sleep value  here 0 2   depends on the length  seconds  of your default beep sound I choosed to use os system rather then subprocess Popen for simplicity  it could be bad  the  -n  for echo is to have no more display the last     after sleep is necessary for the resulting text sequence   x  also tested through ssh on an X term

The cross-platform way to do this is to print   a    This will send the ASCII Bell character to stdout  and will hopefully generate a beep  a for  alert    Note that many modern terminal emulators provide the option to ignore bell characters  Since you re on Windows  you ll be happy to hear that Windows has its own  brace yourself  Beep API  which allows you to send beeps of arbitrary length and pitch  Note that this is a Windows-only solution  so you should probably prefer print   a   unless you really care about Hertz and milliseconds  The Beep API is accessed through the winsound module  http   docs python org library winsound html

There s a Windows answer  and a Debian answer  so here s a Mac one   This assumes you re just here looking for a quick way to make a customisable alert sound  and not specifically the piezeoelectric beep you get on Windows   os system   say beep      Disclaimer  You can replace os system with a call to the subprocess module if you re worried about someone hacking on your beep code   See  How to make the hardware beep sound in Mac OS X 10 6
