I'd like to run these in the background, i.e. ./ding/ding.py in 60s &, but the countdown printer means that it clears the screen and is constantly overwriting my prompt.

Would you accept a PR for a silent mode (perhaps with a less confusing name--I don't mean silencing the beep, just the print output), so it could be run as ./ding/ding.py in 60s --silent & and only interrupt you once time was up?

Hey there,

thanks for awesome tool!

I have (and as far as I know many people too) custom beep. Custom beep is simply alias for beep command which runs something like paplay my-better-beep.wav.
2 big advantages

• much more "listenable" beeps (http://www.soundjay.com/beep-sounds-1.html)
• works with headphones

The thing is it would be really nice to have ability to tell ding what to use as beep instead of just common "\a". Something like ding -c beep in 3s which will run beep command which is alias for paplay command above.

What do you think? Is this possible?

I'm running your code on archlinux on a thinkpad t540p with

Python 3.5.2 (default, Jun 28 2016, 08:46:01) 
[GCC 6.1.1 20160602] on linux

There is no beeping at all.

I have tried many ways to make my computer beep, but at last I found that there is no speaker on my motherboard, maybe because I assemble the compueter myself. And command like beep or any other command can not make any sound.
So if I want to beep through loudspeaker(this can work), how to do it? Thanks, maybe it will become too heavy for such a tool.
Anyway, it's cute. I like the idea, and once want to make one by myself.
