Can we add an alarm to Julia so that it can sound an alarm when a program terminates?

See this prior discussion:

> ‘wavplay’ from [WAV · Julia Packages](https://juliapackages.com/p/wav) worked fine for me. using WAV y, fs = wavread("foo.wav") Anywhere in your program where you want to play the sound in the file foo.wav, just add the line. wavplay(y, fs) Also you can try Beep.jl ([GitHub - arubhardwaj/Beep.jl: Notify me, Julia! I cannot remember after executing the script!!](https://github.com/arubhardwaj/Beep.jl/tree/main)).
