<p style="color: grey"> Bash recipe 578837 by <a href="/recipes/users/4177147/">Barry Walker</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/apple/">apple</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/audio/">audio</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/bash/">bash</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/beep/">beep</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/error_beep/">error_beep</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/error_sound/">error_sound</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/linux/">linux</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/macbook_pro/">macbook_pro</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/sound/">sound</a>). </p> <p>This small bash script generates an 8044 byte 1KHz sinewave wave file and immediately plays it. The file created is a _pure_ sinewave and lasts for 1 second. It uses the default "afplay" command to run the generated file.</p> <p>It was designed around an Apple Macbook Pro but using "aplay" it might even work on other *nix flavours from the command line. I have not bothered to try it as this was purely for my MB Pro.</p> <p>The wave file can be found as "/tmp/sinewave.wav" during the working session(s) and can be saved anywhere of your choice.</p> <p>Enjoy...</p> <p>(Watch for word wrapping etc...)</p> <p>Bazza.</p>
