I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned the InstallBeep program that was 
posted to comp.binaries.amiga a few months ago.  You hand it a sound file,
and it uses SetPatch to change the screen-flashing function to play that
sound instead.  It multitasks, so if two beeps happen in close proximity,
they overlap (that is, until all sound channels are allocated, after which
it flashes the screen instead).  So if you had a one-channel sound, and 
beeped five times, you'd get a quadruple-echoed sound as well as a 
screen-flash.  Works out pretty nicely (my beep is a nice soothing 
bonnnngggg that HAL made in 2001).
