Hello out there,
for a kind of demo application where I simulate a system tick, I would
like to make it audible.
But it needs to be very very decent - just a little 'click' ...
'click' ... 'click', so that the user can relate the system tick to
other actions. 

This is quite new territory for me and any help or advice will be
greatly appreciated.
Best regards
Helmut Giese

Guessing....
Beep( 5000,10 );

Also, if you record a wav of your tick, MessageBeep() might be
available if you register the sound.

Hi Bob,
life could be so easy if one just knew all those myriad little details
...
Yes, Beep looks very promising. However, when using it I just
discovered that the machine I'm currently at doesn't produce _any_
sounds - strange, I never noticed that it remained silent during
booting.
Ok, I'll get this fixed and then we'll see.
Many thanks.

Oh well, if Beep comes sufficiently close to what I want I won't
bother.
Thanks and best regards
