sound after console command is finished

Is there a way to add a sort of "bing" sound after a console command is done? I never really thought about it but would be useful

Re: sound after console command is finished

Have "\a" in your prompt?
You can also have more elaborate stuff like

[ $? = 0 ] && aplay -q ~/.local/share/sounds/tada.wav || aplay -q ~/.local/share/sounds/notify.wav

eg. in zsh using the precmd() function.
