printf "\a" and echo -e "\a" work, as well as all other versions of echo like: echo -e \\a echo -e '\a' echo -en '\x07' echo -en "\x07" However neither of them produces an expecting "beep sound" (do not confuse with 'beep' comand/utility). Exsecuting any of the above produces default system "Sounds Effects" sound instead.
