beep

Beep is a simple command line tool that allows you to generate system beeps in various operating systems. It is typically used in scripts or command line interfaces to create audible indicators or alerts. Beep can be installed on Unix-like systems using package managers like apt, yum, or dnf. On Windows, beep is included as a built-in feature but can also be installed manually. The tool supports different types of beeps, such as regular beeps, long beeps, or short beeps. You can specify the frequency and duration of the beeps, allowing for customization. Beep can be useful in automating certain tasks, providing audio feedback during long-running processes, or as a debugging tool. The command line options provide flexibility to control the number of beeps, delay between beeps, and even the output device. Apart from generating beeps, the tool can also provide the terminal bell sound, which is a typical system notification sound. Beep is a lightweight and straightforward tool that serves a specific purpose, making it a handy utility for developers and system administrators.
