printf "\a" and echo -e "\a" work, as well as all other versions of
echo like:
echo -e \\a
echo -e '\a'
echo -en '\x07'
echo -en "\x07"
However neither of them produces an expecting "beep sound" (do not
confuse with 'beep' comand/utility). Exsecuting any of the above
produces default system "Sounds Effects" sound instead.
