# audio/beep
Play a quick sine beep — a convenience wrapper over `audio/tone` with the default sine wave and envelope.
## Syntax
[audio/beep ?freq ?dur]
## Parameters
- `freq` — frequency in Hz (optional, default 880)
- `dur` — duration in seconds (optional, default 0.1)
## Examples
[audio/beep] # 880 Hz, 100 ms [audio/beep 440 0.2] # 440 Hz, 200 ms
## Returns
Voice id (number), or `%Err{:message}` on an SDL-less host or when the tone cannot start. Arguments beyond `freq`/`dur` are ignored.
