Is there a way to play a system beep on Mac OS using C++ and Xcode? I understand that I need to use a library. Is there a library that works across both the Mac and Windows platforms?

The cross platform way to play a beep is
std::cout << "\007";. I had been trying to play it by passing in a char and then decrementing until 7. That didn’t work. Explicitly outputting the code did work though.
