Thanks to all who replied. What I ended up doing was finding a suitable sound file on the Internet at this place: http://www.mediacollege.com/downloads/sound-effects/beep/
These files are free to use (donation requested). I also found this: http://raisedbeaches.com/octave/ as an alternate source. I found sample code from Apple (quite out of date) that indicated in the “Read Me” we should provide our own sound files. The current documentation for System Sound Services under “AudioServicesPlayAlertSound” seems to indicate system sounds are not available to 3rd party apps. Anyway, have it working now. My app makes a short beep when the user attempts to type a non-number character in a number only field. John: Thanks for the pointer to Bfxr. My main machine doesn’t have Flash installed, so I’ll look at web site later.
