Console.Beep

This C# method makes noises. We make a C# program create a beeping sound, such as for an alarm or to annoy other people.

Random beeping

For maximum annoyance, consider using a random number generator like the Random class. And then generate random beeps.

Example code

The Console.Beep method has 2 overloads. The first version is the default beep. The second version receives 2 arguments—the frequency and the duration in milliseconds.

using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // The official music of Dot Net Perls.
        for (int i = 37; i <= 32767; i += 200)
        {
            Console.Beep(i, 100);
        }
    }
}

Alarm

This is an alarm program. It sets off an audible alarm after a certain number of minutes. The program asks for the number of minutes.

using System;
using System.Threading;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Ask for minutes.
        Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.White;
        Console.WriteLine("Minutes?");
        string minutes = Console.ReadLine();
        int mins = int.Parse(minutes);
        for (int i = 0; i < mins; i++)
        {
            // Sixty seconds is one minute.
            Thread.Sleep(1000 * 60);
            // Write line.
            Console.WriteLine(new string('X', 30));
        }
        // Beep ten times.
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        {
            Console.Beep();
        }
        Console.WriteLine("[Done]");
    }
}

Summary

The beeping effect was presented. Instead of downloading music, you can use a random number generator and the Console.Beep method to generate your own music.
