Play a short sound
beep plays a short sound which is useful if you want to get notified,
for example, when a script has finished. As an added bonus there are a number
of different sounds to choose from.
beep(sound = 1, expr = NULL)

character string or number specifying what sound to be played by either specifying one of the built in sounds, specifying the path to a wav file or specifying an url. The default is 1. Possible sounds are:
If |
expr |
An optional expression to be excecuted before the sound. |
If beep is not able to play the sound a warning is issued rather than
an error. This is in order to not risk aborting or stopping the process that
you wanted to get notified about.
