How can one do it > in Mathematica (ver. 4.0, with a Notebook Front End)? > One simple answer is to actually generate a sound using something like: Beep[] := Show[Play[Sin[5000 t + 2 Sin[400 t]], {t, 0, 1/8}, DisplayFunction -> Identity], ImageSize -> {10, 10}]; Here I have used Show with the ImageSize option to reduce the size of the (unwanted) picture of the sound which is always generated at this point. As far as I know there is no way to suppress the picture of a sound - yet I would have thought this would be quite useful in many situations! David Bailey Salford Software
