Hey IT,

the only way I could find, is to do a for loop, to fire the beep event X
numbers of times, to create
a longer beep.

for ($i=0; $i -lt 10;$i++) {[console]::Beep()}

You don't really create one long beep, rather a series of beeps. But I checked
the MSDN documentation,
and nowhere is it listed that there's a "time" parameter for the beep function.

Use: [console]::beep($frequency, $duration)

Hey Oisin,

hrmpf, I had to look at Beep Method, not Beep Function

Parameters
frequency
Type: System..::.Int32

The frequency of the beep, ranging from 37 to 32767 hertz.

duration
Type: System..::.Int32

The duration of the beep measured in milliseconds.
