If all you need is a beep, then PowerShell can help you easily:
$frequency = 800 $durationMS = 2000 [console]::Beep($frequency, $durationMS)
If you’d like something more sophisticated, then you can also have PowerShell play a system sound:
[System.Media.SystemSounds]::Asterisk.Play()
Here is a list of supported system sounds:
PS> [System.Media.SystemSounds] | Get-Member -Static -MemberType Property
TypeName: System.Media.SystemSounds
Name MemberType Definition
---- ---------- ----------
Asterisk Property static System.Media.SystemSound Asterisk {get;}
Beep Property static System.Media.SystemSound Beep {get;}
Exclamation Property static System.Media.SystemSound Exclamation {get;}
Hand Property static System.Media.SystemSound Hand {get;}
Question Property static System.Media.SystemSound Question {get;}
Do you know PowerShell Conference EU 2018, taking place April 17-20 in Hanover, Germany? If you are an advanced PowerShell professional, you shouldn’t miss this year’s agenda: www.psconf.eu: Hover over a session to view its abstract.
With 45 international top speakers including PowerShell inventor Jeffrey Snover, 80 sessions, and workshops, this event is much more than just a conference. It is a one-of-a-kind Advanced PowerShell Training and a very unique opportunity to meet friendly PowerShell gurus, get authoritative answers to even the trickiest PowerShell questions, and bring home fresh ideas.
This conference is not profit-driven, and all speakers volunteer. The delegate fee basically covers venue, food and drinks throughout the conference, evening events with grand dinner, and workshops.
Just don’t wait too long: this unique event is limited to 300 delegates, with 265 seats already taken by the time of this writing. Visit http://www.powershellmagazine.com/2018/02/09/powershell-conference-eu-2018/ for more details, or www.powershell.love for a quick impression of last year.
