Someone already answered your question as it applies to the PC's case
speaker so I'll show you how I do beeping with the external speaker(s).
The audio/aumix port must be installed and you'll have to locate
some other sound files (eg with "locate \.au").
#!/bin/ksh
## Usage: beep [-cowbell] [_count_]
if [ "$1" = -cowbell ]; then
shift
SOUND=/xxx/share/sounds/old-emacs/cowbell.au
else
SOUND=/xxx/share/sounds/old-emacs/wallsoff.au
fi
if [ "$1" = "" ];then
beeps=1
else
beeps=$1
fi
NEWVOL=100
while [ 1 = 1 ]; do
OLDVOL=$(aumix -vq|cut -d ' ' -f 3)
aumix -v "$NEWVOL"
cat "$SOUND" >/dev/audio
aumix -v "$OLDVOL"
beeps=$((beeps-1))
if [ $beeps = 0 ]; then
break
fi
# sleep 1 ## for slower beeping
done
