NXT: Making Sounds

Playing tones

Beep beep! To make a beep…

playTone(100, 100);

This plays a tone at frequency of 100 Hz for 1000 milliseconds (1 second). That second number is the number of 10 milliseconds (yes, a bit confusing!)

To make different noises, simply change the frequency or time.

Playing sounds

You can also play some other patterns:

playSound(soundUpwardTones);

You can do the following sounds. Try them out!

  • soundBlip
