The only portable shell solution would be to use more "\a"s. If you are
using X11, "xset b" can set the duration and pitch of the beep. On a
Linux console, "setterm" does the same.

I can't hear the beep sound using 'echo -e "\a\a\a\a"'.

Maybe this:

for ((i=1;i<=30;i++)); do

echo -e "\a"

sleep .01

done

Try beep. A nice little program for beeping with adjustable pitches and
lengths.

If you can compile, try: http://www.johnath.com/beep/

If you can't compile there may be an rpm here

ftp://ftp.falsehope.com/pub/beep/

or

ftp://ftp.freshmeat.net/pub/rpms/beep/
