I want the remote box to beep. I want to understand where the difference is since the echo command executes on the remote machine regardless. How does ssh turn the bell off?Do you want to let the remote machine beep or the local one?
echo -e '\a' > /dev/console will let beep remote
echo -e '\a' does beep on local host when running the command in an ssh session on a remote host
Does local beep work on your working machine from a terminal or console?

If a script is run via the console on a box, it beeps. Running the exact same script via an ssh session into that box doesn't beep. I want to use the noise to wake up the person next to the remote box.
