beepPitch
Type
property
Summary
Sets the frequency of the sound played by the beep command.
Syntax
set the beepPitch to <pitchFrequency>
Description
Use the beepPitch property to make the beep sound higher or lower.
The pitchFrequency is the frequency in Hz (cycles per second). A value of 440 is A above middle C. Halving the frequency lowers the pitch one octave; doubling the frequency raises it one octave.
Set the beepPitch to -1 to use the default system setting.
The beepPitch has no effect and does not report a meaningful value on Mac OS or Windows systems, and on some Unix systems which don't allow changing the beep pitch.
Examples
set the beepPitch to 220 -- A below middle C
set the beepPitch to -1 -- restores default
