If the device is able to play system sounds you may use this API:

 using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
 [DllImport("coredll.dll")]
 internal static extern void MessageBeep(MB type);
 internal enum MB
 {
   ICONHAND = 0x00000010,
   ICONQUESTION  = 0x00000020,
   ICONEXCLAMATION = 0x00000030,
   ICONASTERISK = 0x00000040,
 }

The code is already wrapped for C#. You then call a beep using

 MessageBeep(MB.ICONHAND);

Let us know, if that works for you.
