How do I ring the terminal bell? 1

I want to insert a bell tone into my awk script and ring after the awk script finishes.

Thanks for your assistance.

Print the ascii code for "Bell", octal number 007 ....

END {print "\007"}

Thanks for the help.
Both of these suggestions work except when re-directing the output to a file. Then, there is no sound.

Comments?

Thanks again.
