BEL
control-G
g-bell

   <character> {ASCII} 7, ASCII {mnemonic} "BEL", the {character
   code} which prodces a standard audibile warning from the
   computer or {terminal}.  In the {teletype} days it really was a
   bell, since the advent of the {VDU} it is more likely to be a
   sound sample (e.g. the sound of a bell) played through a
   loudspeaker.

   Also called "G-bell", because it is typed as Control-G.

   The term "beep" is preferred among some {microcomputer}
   hobbyists.

   Compare {feep}, {visible bell}.
