Do you know the CMD line to make a beep?

Asked by XOIIO (18328points) December 2nd, 2010

I need a line in my batch script to make a couple quick beeps from the built in speaker. Any help?

Doesn’t work:(

Yeah, I noticed. It works from the command line, but not from within a batch file.

Okay, do this, then.

At the command line type:
echo @echo (Alt Key + 7 (from the numeric keypad !)) > beep.bat

What you’ll see on the screen as you type this is:
echo @echo ^G > beep.bat

This will create a batch file called beep.bat, which will beep when you run it.

When you want the beep to sound during execution of another batch file, just use the line:

Call beep.bat
in your main batch file.

Wierd, it doesn’t do anything. I dont think being on a lappy would make a difference, right?

Oh nvm, I got it to work.

Is there a way to change the pitch?

Not that I know of.

Dang, but I had a great idea!

Save this as run.vbs on your desktop

Set WshShell = CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)
WshShell.Run chr(34) & “annoy.bat” & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing

Then save this as annoy.bat on your desktop

@echo off
title annoy
color 0a
:loop
@echo 
ping localhost -n =%random%%100+1
GOTO loop

Then run run.vbs

Would be good on someones computer. If you dont like them
