Beep (sound)
A beep is a short, single tone, typically high-pitched, generally made by a computer or other machine. The term has its origin in onomatopoeia.
The word "beep-beep" is recorded for the noise of a car horn in 1929, and the modern usage of "beep" for a high-pitched tone is attributed to Arthur C. Clarke in 1951.
==Use in computers==
In some computer terminals, the ASCII character code 7, bell character, outputs an audible beep. The beep is also sometimes used to notify the user when the BIOS is not working or there is some other error during the start up process, often during the power-on self-test (POST).〔.〕 A beep is also made when holding down too many keys at the same time, as the computer often cannot handle the processes. It is also used to cover up swearing in some television shows, but in this case, it's often spelled like "bleep."
