is there something so I can play a noise when Julia finished running? Like I have a function

function foo(beta)
    beta[1].^2.0 - beta[2].^0.5

    #Function that pops off a sound
    noise() #Does this exist?
end

and want a sound to pop off in the end

One option: you can try my package, Alert.jl. It creates a notification, which, depending on your os settings will play a sounds as well.

You can use the run command to play a sound with a music player.
In linux I use the following:

run(play "pathToFolder/soundFileName", wait=false)

e.g.

run(play "mySound.mp3", wait=false)

print('\u0007') prints the BEL character, which in many terminals will cause a beep to sound. print('\u0007'^5) for 5 beeps.

On Mac OS, my favorite is to put a line with

run(`say \"I am done\"`)

It’s kind of fun to watch the reactions of nearby colleagues too when the oracle speaks.

For those on Windows, some text-to-speech can be called using:

str = "I'm done!"
run(`powershell -Command "\$sp = New-Object -ComObject SAPI.SpVoice; \$sp.Speak(\"$str\")"`)

And a basic beep, with pitch and duration, using:

run(`powershell -Command "[console]::beep(600,300)"`)
