The alarm() function just sends a ctrl-g (ASCII BEL character) to the console
terminal. If the terminal type recognizes this byte according to that
interpretation, and it is not locally configured to disable sound, then you
should hear an audible alert. Linux consoles typically do handle this. In X
Windows, you have many possible terminal emulators, so you will have to read
the documentation for the emulator you are using.
