It may depend on how you generate the sound. There is a primitive tone
generator in the hardware that may not produce sound good enough for what
you want. But if you use the waveform synthesizer, especially at the
highest rate (22KHz for a PB100 I'd guess) you can generate a fairly high
quality sinewave depending on what the frequency is. 1KHz should be quit
good.
