BeepChecker

BeepChecker is a simple yet reliable tool designed to provide you with the means of getting accustomed to the various standard Windows sounds.

It is sometimes quite difficult to understand what your computer is trying to tell you, particularly if your operating system is new and you are still getting used to it.

BeepChecker allows you to play the sound bites that Windows emits in several situations. As such, you can learn to distinguish the messages sent by your OS.

This tool provides you with two sections: 'Standard Beeps' and 'Custom Beeps'. The first one offers six tones, each for a different situation. By pressing on the corresponding button, they will emit the assigned sound.

The 'Simple Beep' is probably the most used tone by your operating system. In case you do not have a sound card, the beep will be produced by your speakers or headphones. The 'OK Beep' is regarded as the default Windows beep.

The 'Information Beep' is also known as the Windows Asterisk Sound. The 'Question Beep' is played when your OS will ask you a question. The 'Warning Beep' is assigned for when your operating system is trying to draw your attention. The 'Error Beep' is the sound of the Windows 'Critical Stop'.

Finally, the 'Custom Beep' allows you to set the preferred frequency and duration, then press the 'Play Beep' button. This specific function is particularly useful for testing your speakers or headphones and see if the sounds they produce are clean or if there is a problem.

BeepChecker is an interesting software solution that can help you test out your audio devices, but also help you learn the sounds of your OS, so you know what it is trying to tell you the next time it emits a beep.
