Beep Frequency

Beep Frequency

About

All files can be found on the Releases page.

Description

This Windows command line tool enables anyone to be able to call the Beep()^[2] function from the Win32 API library creating a beep sound in hertz^[3] frequency.

Motivation

I wanted a solution for doing pure tone hearing tests^[4] in my home. Of course my family and friends would get a second opinion if we found our hearing was failing this test.

Usage

Environment

This is a Windows command line tool for CMD and PowerShell. There are both x86 (32 bit) and x64 (64 bit) versions of the executable.

How To Use

As with any portable program this can be placed anywhere you like on your machine, but more preferably in a directory that is in your %PATH% environment variable so you can run it without a full path (beepfreq for example). I recommend using a dedicated Bin directory, but of course, it's your choice. If your path isn't already in your %PATH% environment then I suggest adding it^[1], but if not then you have provide the full path (C:\Path\To\beepfreq.exe for example) when executing the program.
