It might be worth mentioning that you also have the option of playing
the old-fashioned beep on the computer's speaker rather than through
the sound system. E.g.,

 >>> import winsound
 >>> winsound.Beep(440,250)

plays an "A" for 250 milliseconds on the computer's internal speaker.

(Note the upper case 'B' on 'Beep')
