echo -e "\a"
It's as simple as that!

For a simple beep try

printf '\a'

There's also aplay(1) & speaker-test(1) from the alsa-utils package for music files and random noise, respectively.

Hi everyone,

I'm testing a script and a beep (or any sound would help in my debugging ) beep seem not to be installed by default.

is there any other command than can generate a sound from the CLI ? (a beep, playing a file, speaking trough TTS..)

Thanks..
