Here are two ways:
cat("\7")
system("sndrec32 /play /close c:/windows/media/ding.wav")
The second way uses Windows Sound Recorder to play the ding.wav file
on my XP system and which may or may exist in the same location on
other versions of Windows.

If you don't want to use tcltk, then you could call the Windows API function MessageBeep from some C code, but I don't think we have a "bell" or "beep" function in the standard R packages.
