Make alert message with sound in batch

[Underi]

I made a little program to create a popup as soon as specified amount of minutes have passed because I was waiting for pizza to bake in oven. So far so good. But how can I make it into an alert with sound, kind of like error popups in windows.

@echo off
set /P timemin=Give minutes.
set /A time=%timemin% * 60
timeout /T %time%
msg * "Wakeup!"

The simplest way would be to have the terminal echo the ASCII control code for BELL (0x7, and I made the beep happen 10 times with a 1 second delay, as well, modify to suit your needs):
 

@echo off
set /P timemin=Give minutes.
set /A time=%timemin% * 60
timeout /T %time%
msg * "Wakeup!"
@echo on
@echo off
for /l %%x in (1, 1, 10) do (
   echo  
   timeout 1
)

You'll need to generate the (Ctrl+G) from the command line though, because Windows command prompt is fucking stupid. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1143386/in-a-bash-script-command-how-can-i-make-a-pc-beep-noise-or-play-a-sound-file
