The Beep block was a stack block and a sound block. The block produced the system Beep sound as defined by the operating system. It was removed in Scratch 16Jan06 for unknown reasons and made an obsolete block.
Usage
In early development of Scratch, the Beep block used a system sound. In Windows, the default Beep sound is Windows_Background.wav (the windows error sound), so it will play the Windows error sound, or, in some cases, the BIOS beep.[citation needed] The effect on MacOS and other operating systems is unconfirmed, but is said that it does nothing.[citation needed]
Workaround
Currently, there is no workaround to the system beep. However, the start sound () block can play a beep sound effect:
start sound (beep v)
