The _oooold_ Norton utilites for DOS (a handy set of tools if there ever
was one) include BEEP.EXE which simply sounds a beep through the PC
speaker when run from the command line. (It was intended for use in
batch files and such.) This is very handy to do the kind of checking you
have in mind. I've used BEEP a lot in the past, and I still keep it around.

A similar program (freeware) is here:
