Hello everyone.

Could anyone tell me how to make Debian 12-gnome-terminal make a beep sound after completing a shell script.
Thanks in advance.

I googled around and found:

• tput bel: This command uses the tput utility to send the "bell" control character to the terminal.
• echo -e "\a": The -e option enables interpretation of backslash escapes, and \a represents the bell character.
• printf "\a": The printf command works similarly to echo -e "\a".

I tested them with no prevail. 

The beep application seems to be promising, although it is currently giving me an error.

sudo apt install beep

tmb@hp-debian:~$ beep
beep: Error: Could not open any device
