beep unconditionally



How does one get a beep unconditionally from that little speaker be it
from a batch job or whatever.  Assume I can give a valid $XAUTHORITY.

I used to do the below, but now:
$ echo -e \\a > /dev/console 
bash: /dev/console: Permission denied
Now only root can make it beep.  Without resorting to root powers,
what can one do?
