I am working on a Java program, and I really need to be able to play a sound by a certain frequency and duration, similarly to the c# method System.Beep, I know how to use it in C#, but I can't find a way to do this in Java. Is there some equivalent, or another way to do this?
using System;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// The official music of Dot Net Perls.
for (int i = 37; i <= 32767; i += 200)
{
Console.Beep(i, 100);
}
}
}
I don't think there's a way to play tunes1 with "beep" in portable2 Java. You'll need to use the javax.sound.*
APIs I think ... unless you can find a third-party library that simplifies things for you.
If you want to go down this path, then this page might give you some ideas.
1 - Unless your users are all tone-deaf. Of course you can do things like beeping in Morse code ... but that's not a tune.
2 - Obviously, you could make native calls to a Windows beep function. But that would not be portable.
