 DESCRIPTION:

  MessageBeep() plays a waveform sound corresponding to a given system
  alert level. The sound for each alert level is identified by an entry in
  the [sounds] section of the WIN.INI initialization file. 
  MessageBeep returns control to the caller after queuing the sound and
  plays the sound asynchronously. 

  If it cannot play the specified alert sound, MessageBeep attempts to play
  the system default sound. If it cannot play the system default sound, the
  function produces a standard beep sound by using the computer speaker. 
  The user can disable the warning beep by using Windows Control Panel
  application Sounds.
