Yes it's called 'beep'. Seriously. It's good - you can choose frequency 
and duration and make little chimes with it:

beep -f 523 -l 80
beep -f 659 -l 100
beep -f 784 -l 60
beep -f 659 -l 80
beep -f 784 -l 100
beep -f 1044 -l 60
beep -f 784 -l 80
beep -f 1046 -l 100
beep -f 1318 -l 120
beep -f 1568 -l 200
beep -f 2093 -l 300
