SOUND Sound the Speaker
SOUND freq,duration
Sounds the speaker at a specified frequency for a specified length of
time.
freq A numeric expression in the range 37 to 32767; specifies,
in Hertz, the frequency (pitch) of the tone to be sounded.
duration A numeric expression in the range 0 to 65535. Specifies
the length of time the tone is to be sounded, in units of
clock ticks. Each clock tick is 1/18.2 (0.054945054) of a
second.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: QuickBASIC continues program execution while a tone is
being sounded, unless a second SOUND statement is
encountered--in which case, QuickBASIC waits until the
first tone is finished, then begins executing the second
SOUND statement. The MB parameter of the PLAY statement,
however, can be used to enable buffering of SOUND
statements.
