By doing that, you _might_ be able to get a beep on the
terminal where stdout connected (if it is indeed a terminal or
terminal emulator), but one presumes the OP wants a beep where
the application's window is displayed.  

IOW, stdout might be a file, pipe, or /dev/null (no beep), or
on a machine other than the one displaying the application's
windows (beep on the wrong machine).
