How is your SAS installation set up?
I'm assuming this is not on Academics on Demand?

With SAS Studio and your SAS session running on a remote location, call sound or similar techniques aren't possible. You won't be able to tell SAS to trigger a sound that you hear on your local machine.

Alternative ways to notify yourself that a job is complete: tell SAS to send an email, or a text/SMS message (using the email trick), or send a message to a Slack or Microsoft Teams channel.

I don't know about sounds via Studio, but as a side note, rather than use this infinite loop you might want to use the SLEEP or WAKEUP functions which are designed for this purpose, and should consume less resources.
