Beep

If you want to enable beep from your built-in case speaker you will need to run one of these kernel modules: pcspkr (recommended) or snd-pcsp.

In addition, to use beep as normal user read the PERMISSIONS.md file.

Terminal bell

If executed with -t, --terminal-bell option it will send a bell character. Same as:

echo -e '\a'

This is useful for visual bell. Remember that you have to enable it in your terminal configuration. Usage example:
