Asking \Gee\ for help since Google is a total absolute nigger nowadays.
I'm trying to find a wav (sound file really, I don't really care the format) for that classic Windows 3 PC speaker "beep" sound for errors, warnings and whatnot.
Thanks frens, appreciate your help.

You mean something like this?

Nice, I'll take note of that site, thank you.
But not what I was looking for really, what I'm looking for is the default PC Speaker "beep" not the wav system sounds.
>>
>>108853347
its was a hardware buzzer wasn't it? i remember different motherboards sound different from other ones.
>>
>>108853532
Probably, I recall it also on showed up on a few movies as well, it was like 2 quick "notes" one right after the other, first one higher than the other, that's the best my monke brain can describe it.

>>108853566

PC Speaker is 1 bit
You can't have one note higher than the other on it.
Your zoomer fake nostalgia glasses need to be wiped off.

Man this is getting harder than I thought it would be, and every Google hit being "SAAR TO FIX YOU'RE BEEPING WARNING TRY THIS TOP 10 LIST OF TROUBLE SHOUTING" or similar doesn't help.
Closest thing I found was installing Win 3.0 on DOSBox, it kinda sounds the same I remember but not quite, also it's distorted but I think that's due to cycles.

If it's a Windows sound, it'll be somewhere in this video, but the video is 18 minutes long and I got bored after two minutes due to brainrot:

I think I know the noise you mean (dee-doot) and it might not be a Windows one. It might be from some specific software, like a message notification or something.
>>
>>108854291
Wait! Try the noise at 4:29! Is that the one you want?

Anyway, if you have a computer that can make the noise, you can look in the Windows files and copy the sound file.

>>108854303
Thanks, but it wasn't a "sound file", it was a PC speaker buzz kinda thing.
>>
>>108853315
PC speaker beeps were just square waves put out by the BIOS, no?
>>
>>108854321
>https://vocaroo.com/15bvr40Ac7An
that's the bomb placement sound from Zelda 1

If the sound isn't in the software but in the hardware (and it sounds like it is), then the only way to get it is to find someone online who recorded it.

OP, are you looking for these? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-on_self-test
The Wikipedia page won't help you find the sounds, but you will definitely have more luck if you know what the beeps are called.
>>
>>108853315
There was a somewhat-less-common DOS launcher called "Direct Access" by 5th Generation systems. It worked as a captive menuing system, and was often paired with Windows 3.x. Entering undefined function keys would make the PC speaker beep a falling two-tone "uh-oh" sound. Maybe that's what you're thinking of?

you can have pc speaker play whatever the fuck you want

>>108853681
He’s right, but you can use PWM to create the effect of other sounds.
>>
>>108853315
a PC buzzer doesn't play sound files, it just buzzes at a given frequency
what you need is a RECORDING of the beep, and if you're after a very specific color of that beep, you'll need a recording of a specific speaker shape

if you don't have an old PC yourself, look up on youtube videos of old PCs booting up and snip your own sample
>>
>>108856349
Yeah I hoped someone had already recorded it, turns out nobody ever did, or at least I couldn't find it because of this SEO faggotry of late, now ultra-charged by AI.

I don't have my old computers anymore, so I guess this is as good as it gets:
