beep: Java does not have a built-in set of sounds. It ignores '\a' in console output, though you can use \007. In JDK 1.1 You can make a simple beep with java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit ().beep() . I have seen reports that beep does not work properly on some platforms. In JDK 1.0.2 you can use System.out.print("\007"); System.out.flush(); You can also play au files. On PCs without a sound card you can play tones on the built-in speaker.
