Simple, print the bell character. In Python:

print('\a')

From bash shell:

echo $'\a'

Note that on some terminals, the bell can be disabled. In others, the bell can be replaced with a visual bell in the shape of a flashing screen background.

For a simple beep, print "\a".

The Control Codes are listed on this page, these are all the characters that should make a terminal perform an action.
