Just out of curiosity how can a beep sound be generated?

My interest in this came about because echo -e '\a' no longer works. Also print 
'\a' doesn't work, presumably for the same reason. The following is also mute:

import Tkinter
Tkinter.Tk().bell()

Print '\a', under Idle, causes a bell icon to be displayed so it seems that the 
lack of a beep is due to a system setting.


Would you like us to guess what system you are running? Linux, Mac OS, Windows, 
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Android, something else? My guess is... Windows XP. Am I 
close?

Is your sound volume on and not muted?

Can you play other sounds?

Does your terminal have the "Terminal Bell" enabled?
