title: In a bash script/command how can I make a PC beep noise, or play a sound file?
body: <p>I have some long running scripts with breaks requiring input/interaction to continue but when I switch to another window I'd like to be notified (by sound) that a task is complete and now awaiting input.</p>
  
  <p>I would prefer to be able to play an audio clip (*.mp3, *.ogg, etc.) but wouldn't care if the only solution is to make the PC Speaker beep noise.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas? I'm open to any CLI utilities I can install that play sounds that in turn I can execute when needed.</p>
  
  <p>FYI: My System is running WinXP Pro.</p>
  
  <p><strong><em>UPDATE:</em></strong> Doh! My Windows > Control Panel > Sounds > Default Beep: was set to <strong><em>(none)</em></strong>. Grrr...</p>
  
  <p>Problem solved.</p>
