compile with the -lncurses flag

Reference : http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/man/curs_beep.3x.html

Also this question : make sounds (beep) with c++

Edit:

try this command line

sudo sh -c "echo -e '\a' > /dev/console"

Also try the code given at http://www.linuxplayer.org/2010/04/beep-your-pc-speaker-in-linux

int ms = 5000;
int freq = 440;
ioctl(fd, KDMKTONE, (ms<<16 | 1193180/freq));

Answer 2

Have you tried echo -e "\a"?
You might also try: echo -ne '\007'

Also there is a beep command-line tool that you should be able to install using your distributions package management system.

It should cause the terminal to emit a beep.
I've tested it on a few Linux distributions and seems to work correctly.
