Using beep sound at point of error in python

I want to add beep sound when an error occurs in python script. I know how to add windows beep after specific line e.g.

 duration = 1000  # milliseconds
    freq = 440  # Hz
     #some code here
    winsound.Beep(freq, duration)

Is it possible to enable beep whenever there is an error? I am using windows 10, python 3.6, and pycharm IDE. I couldn't find any feature in pycharm that gives audio notification on error.

PyCharm-specific: By now, there is also an option to have a sound play at certain events, for example hitting a breakpoint ("Breakpoint hit"). ( Documentation/archived, see "Play sound".)

Trying it quickly, I couldn't find the option to play a sound when an exception is hit (it is not the option "Error Report"). But enabling sound for "Breakpoint hit" for me does the job, together with enabling breakpoints when an untreated exception is hit.

According to the docs, it works for Windows, Linux and MacOs.

You can use this one in Windows:

import winsound
try:
    int('abc')
except Exception as e:
    winsound.PlaySound("*", winsound.SND_ALIAS)
    raise e

Replace int('abc') with your code.

NOTE: It can be used only in "Windows". Not applicable to Linux / Mac OS.

You can catch all errors globally and beep when an error occurs:

try:
    do_something()
except:
    winsound.Beep(440, 1000)
