You can play any sound you like as long as you can find it. :) A lot
of sound files come in the default JAWS Sounds folder. You should be
able to use the FindJAWSSoundFile function to get a path for one, and
the Start Menu > Programs > JAWS > Explore My JAWS feature to locate a
sound in the Sounds folder and get its name. But beware that
PlaySound interrupts itself just like beep() does, so playing two of
them right after each other isn't very helpful without a delay between
them.

Thanks very much indeed.
do I have any other options e.g. could I play a specific sound file by
calling it or something?
i could create a warning sound then i guess.
