That's not really a PHP question. PHP is executed on the server, the user
will get the browser output you generate. What this means is that you
should be looking for a way for the browser to make a sound, not your PHP
script. To that end, I believe there is a SOUND tag in HTML and there's
probably a way to do something in javascript as well. (can't be more
specific, I haven't done it...)
