Examples

The following example demonstrates the Beep method. The example accepts a number from 1 through 9 as a command line argument, and plays the beep that number of times.

// This example demonstrates the Console.Beep() method.
using namespace System;
int main()
{
   array<String^>^args = Environment::GetCommandLineArgs();

   {
      for ( int i = 1; i <= x; i++ )
      {
         Console::WriteLine( "Beep number {0}.", i );
         Console::Beep();

      }
   }
   else

Remarks

By default, the beep plays at a frequency of 800 hertz for a duration of 200 milliseconds.

Beep wraps a call to the Windows Beep function. Whether Beep produces a sound on versions of Windows before Windows 7 depends on the presence of a 8254 programmable interval timer chip. Starting with Windows 7, it depends on the default sound device.
