)
=> t / nil
Description
Rings the bell in the keyboard or terminal.
Arguments
|
x_loudness
|
Overrides the loudness of the beep for that iteration. x_loudness ranges from -100 (silence) to 100 (full volume).
The default is zero. Setting x_loudness to zero causes the beep to be at the system default loudness. The absolute value of a negative number is the percentage from the system default loudness toward silence, and a positive number is the percentage from the system default loudness toward full volume. The amount of loudness control is system dependent. For example, Sun systems have the same volume for values -99 through 100, but HP systems have a wide range of volume.
