Batch/VB Script to set of System Beep

I'm wondering, with batch, vbs or any other built in windows languages, can I make the system beep (like the one when you press a key at startup) go off? I'm not sure if this is possible, but any help would be awesome!

Solution

  • This is very easy using ctrl+G (which comes up as ^G in cmd).

    Simply Type:

    Echo ^G
Echo ^G >> beep.txt
Type beep.txt

    This can only be used in CMD, unless you redirect the output to a text file (As demonstrated above), where you can then copy it into your batch file or type the file when you want to beep.

    Remember in the above code ^G is achieved by key pressing Ctrl + g.
