I've got tired of beep not working, here is toot (cross-platform C C++), toot works. It simply tries to call different ways to produce a sine wave that might be present on your machine.

void toot(float aFrequency_Hz, int aLength_ms) ;

Usage: toot [-f frequency_Hz] [-l length_ms] toot [-v] [--verbose] toot [-h] [--help] toot [--version] Default: toot -f 440. -l 400 Example: toot

the release pane contains windows and osx executables

make sure the volume is on (though some beeps may use the hardware speaker) if you can't adjust frequency / length (or if it doesn't beep) on osx: install sox (from macport.org or brew.sh) on unix: install sox

If you know of any other way to reliably generate sine wave sound or beep on anykind of machine, I'll be happy to add them to toot.

UNIX (including MacOS) : $ clang -o toot tootlib.c toot.c ( or gcc tcc icx) ( or g++ clang++ icpx )

MinGW :

gcc -o toot.exe tootlib.c toot.c -luser32

Windows Borland C :

bcc32c -o toot.exe toot.c tootlib.c -luser32

Windows TinyCC v0.9.27 :

tcc -o toot.exe toot.c tootlib.c -luser32

Windows Intel C :

icx-cc -o toot.exe toot.c tootlib.c -luser32 icx-cl -o toot.exe toot.c tootlib.c user32.lib

Windows cli :

cl toot.c tootlib.c user32.lib /W4

VisualStudio : Create an application project or an empty project (it links against user32.lib)
