Java equivalent of C# system.beep?

audio, beep, c#, frequency, java

Solution

I don't think there's a way to play tunes1 with "beep" in portable2 Java. You'll need to use the `javax.sound.*` APIs I think ... unless you can find a third-party library that simplifies things for you.

If you want to go down this path, then this page might give you some ideas.

1 - Unless your users are all tone-deaf. Of course you can do things like beeping in Morse code ... but that's not a tune.

2 - Obviously, you could make native calls to a Windows beep function. But that would not be portable.

Problem

I am working on a Java program, and I really need to be able to play a sound by a certain frequency and duration, similarly to the c# method System.Beep, I know how to use it in C#, but I can't find a way to do this in Java. Is there some equivalent, or another way to do this? ``` 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); } } } ```
