- Play a WAV sound file. To play a WAV sound file, use Sound.play(wav_file) You cannot use mp3 files with the Sound.play command, nor can you use Lego sound files in the RSF or RSO format (but see below). A good source for free WAV sound files is Wavsource.com.
- Convert system beep sound to.wav file or.mp3 file. Rate this: Please Sign up or sign in to vote. See more: C#. Hi, i came through ur site which contains an article of creating and playing beep sounds with chords,duration and pitch and octave together. And here is the site of that article.

It's not possible to do directly in JavaScript. You'll need to embed a short WAV file in the HTML, and then play that via code.
An Example:
You would then call it from JavaScript code as such:
This should do exactly what you want - you'll just need to find/create the beep sound yourself, which should be trivial.

Solution
You can now use base64 files to produce sounds when imported as data URI. The solution is almost the same as the previous ones, except you do not need to import an external audio file.
Compatibility
Data URI is supported on almost every browser now. More information on http://caniuse.com/datauri

Conversion Tool
And here is where you can convert mp3 or wav files into Data URI format:

The top answer was correct at the time but is now wrong; you can do it in pure javascript. But the one answer using javascript doesn't work any more, and the other answers are pretty limited or don't use pure javascript.
I made my own solution that works well and lets you control the volume, frequency, and wavetype.
Someone suggested I edit this to note it only works on some browsers. However Audiocontext seems to be supported on all modern browsers, as far as I can tell. It isn't supported on IE, but that has been discontinued by Microsoft. If you have any issues with this on a specific browser please report it.

As we read in this answer, HTML5 will solve this for you if you're open to that route. HTML5 audio is supported in all modern browsers.
Here's a copy of the example:

Using Houshalter's suggestion, I made this simple tone synthesizer demo.
Here is a screenshot. Try the live demo further down in this Answer (click Run code snippet).

This will enable you to play the sound multiple times, in contrast to the top-voted answer:

Using CSS you can do it if you add the following style to a tag, but you will need a

There's no crossbrowser way to achieve this with pure javascript. Instead you could use a small .wav file that you play using embed or object tags.

Here's how I get it to beep using HTML5:First I copy and convert the windows wav file to mp3, then I use this code:
Beep Sound Wav File
It's faster to declare the sound file globally and refer to it as needed.

Note:put this code in your javascript at the point you want the beep to occur.and remember to specify the directory or folder where the beep sound is stored(source).

You need a sound file to be served from somewhere. Here's the code from Scriptaculous's Sound library:
