This might help (don't know, I've never used it):
From the list of check file commands:
BEEP
This will give a sound when the command is invoked. The BEEP has three subtypes giving different sounds. A little experimentation is needed since setup of sounds varies between computers. For the standard setup of sounds in Windows the standard beep is used for beeping without qualifier. For CONFIRMATION the exclamation sign (!) and for WARNING the (?) is indicated in the sound setup system. BEEP can be used in combination with IF ... THEN ....ENDIF blocks.
Example:
BEEP BEEP CONFIRMATION BEEP WARNING
