I'm a brand-new student in programming arena so I can't grasp this program written in my book that I have been following for a few days. The program is like this:
#include "stdio.h" main() { printf("\a"); } What does this program mean? Does this program mean that we could hear a ringing bell? I can't hear any ringing bell sound!!!

tintinnabulation Add to list Share. The noun tintinnabulation refers to a bell-like sound, like the tintinnabulation of wind chimes blowing in the breeze. The sound of bells ringing, like church bells on a Sunday morning, can be called tintinnabulation.
More often than not, the chime sound plays when a peripheral device is connected or disconnected from your computer. A malfunctioning or incompatible keyboard or mouse, for example, or any device that turns itself on and off, can cause your computer to play the chime sound.
ASCII character 7 is the BELL character, and it's represented in C as \a . Some terminals will produce a beep when this character is output on the terminal; nowadays, many don't.
\a (alert) Produces an audible or visible alert without changing the active position. I´ve never seen this used in any C code to indicate an error. By the way, I didn´t know that an escape sequence can/could trigger an audible signal on some systems.
