You can do sleep 15m; beep

One of the reasons to use this is to avoid beep, which may not even be enabled on your machine.

Use echo '\a' that's what this program uses anyway... It's literally sleep $1; echo '\a' or you can use at if you want exact time.

Yes, anything can be done in a different way.

X11 bell almost never works for me.
