You can use the function set-message-beep to change the sound that Emacs uses for its beep. Emacs allows you to specify one of the Windows system sounds for the beep. For example, to use the ok system sound, place the following in your startup file: (set-message-beep ‘ok) Look up help for the function for a complete description of how to use the function and which sounds it recognizes.
