You are thinking WINDOWS.  Java is for any platform.  There is no "system 
sound" on many systems, therefore there is no "system sound" in Java.  
The only way to get a sound is from a .AU sound file, AFAIK.

On the non-Borland newsgroups, somebody brought up a similar question 
about getting to the system registry.  Same answer -- that is WINDOWS 
specific.  Some Microsoft flunkie posted a J++ solution, which is a tool 
that doesn't even use the Java language (see 
http://www.afu.com/javafaq.html ).
