Cygwin 'bell' not working

[Jerry D. Hedden]

The following command is supposed to sound a 'bell', but does not
produce any sound output on my machine:

echo -e '\a'

If I output a ^G using Window's echo command, I do get a beep.

I am not using X-Windows.  I am using Windows 'command prompt' window
running bash.

Does Cygwin lack the ability to sound the computer's bell?  If not,
what do I need to change to fix this?
