Tim here. Are you running within a terminal in X or are you running straight in a console without X? If you're running within X, you can use $ xset $VOLUME $PITCH $DURATION so I have mine set to do $ xset b 50 400 100 for 50% volume of a 400Hz tone for 100ms. If you're running in the pure console, you can try setterm: $ setterm --bfreq 75 --blength 25 gives a nice low buzz that doesn't wake my kids. -tim On March 13, 2019, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: > Well, I obviously run pine alot, certainly notice differences in > the new mail notifications from my laptop as maybe a 500cycle beep, > in windows a "ding", and a rather suttle maybe 800cycle sound on my > Debian desktop.
