Many terminals have bell (beep), a sound which is activated when the user uses completion or make a mistake typing a command. WT does not seem to have it or I have not understood how to set it. I have tries wit Ubuntu, CMD, PS and my setting of MSYS2. Notice the bell/beep works using MinTTY...

I think this is a known issue. The BEL control character is not yet supported by the conpty layer. See #1883 and #1608.

We're not actually emitting a bell right now, but the underlying infrastructure now supports it.

In WT 0.6... I continue to not hear any bell... does it mean we have to customize something in profiles? In MSYS2 profile I DO hear bell but not in Ubuntu or DOS etc...

Sorry: this workitem was repurposed to track getting bell working through the intermediate layers of the console subsystem behind Windows Terminal, so that all terminals on windows could start belling. We haven't yet implemented bell support in WT itself.
