Create a system alert beep on a Mac

[JP-NYC]

Is there an easier way to create the default system alert sound on a Mac without having to read the setting file to see what sound file it is set to, load the sound and then play the sound?

Thanks

You mean a beep like this ?

Code: Select all

OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 222, 200, "Beep example", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
ButtonGadget(0, 10, 10, 200, 40, "Beep")
Repeat
  Event = WaitWindowEvent()
  If Event = #PB_Event_Gadget And EventGadget() = 0
    NSBeep_()
  EndIf
Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

or

Code: Select all

#kUserPreferredAlert = $00001000

ImportC "-framework AudioToolbox"
  AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(SystemSoundID.l)
EndImport

OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 222, 200, "User alert example", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
ButtonGadget(0, 10, 10, 200, 40, "Alert")
Repeat
  Event = WaitWindowEvent()
  If Event = #PB_Event_Gadget And EventGadget() = 0
    AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(#kUserPreferredAlert)
  EndIf
Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
