Funny Linux Beep Prank

BeepHere’s one for Aprils Fools. install the “beep” program on your Linux box and then run this while you are out to lunch. It will play a series of random beeps over random intervals and will drive your co-workers mad!

while true; do sleep $(($RANDOM/1000)) && beep -f 2000 -l $(($RANDOM/100)) ; done

    Tried it but no one smashed my laptop :( Guess I have to get one the old fashioned way and ask!

    Maybe you don’t have the “beep” program installed or you don’t have speaker. That’s my variant:P :

    while true; do sleep $(($RANDOM/1000)) && beep -f $(($RANDOM/10)) -l $(($RANDOM/100)) ; done
