How to make the hardware beep sound in Mac OS X 10.6

Question

I just want that Mac OS X 10.6 does a hardware beep sound like in open suse and other distributions. I tried following approaches

Terminal -> beep = -bash: beep: command not found

Terminal -> say beep = voice speaks out beep (Not a Hardware beep but awesome ;) )

applescript -> beep = Macintosh bell (I want a Hardware beep!)

Does anybody know how to make the Hardware beep in bin/bash or applescript?

Answer 1

write echo ^G in the bash. to create the ^G press ctrl+v and then ctrl+g.
