You can also use the MessageBeep Win32 API function:

DECLARE INTEGER MessageBeep IN Win32API ;
INTEGER nSoundType
= MessageBeep(lnSoundType)

where lnSoundType can be:
MB_ICONHAND 0x00000010
MB_ICONQUESTION 0x00000020
MB_ICONEXCLAMATION 0x00000030
MB_ICONASTERISK 0x00000040
MB_OK 0x00000000
Standard beep using the computer speaker 0xFFFFFFFF

For ex., if you want the question sound:
= MessageBeep(0x00000020)

The corresponding sounds are defined in ControlPanel/Sounds. If the sounds are not defined, than... better use the standard beep which works all the time.
