This seems to work under Windows:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main (void) {

printf("Press key:\n");

switch (getch()) {
case '1':
 system("file.mp3");
 break;
}
}

Provided it can find file.mp3 (which contains your tone). However the file
is played using an application chosen by the OS (eg. WMP).

If you want to get involved in audio file formats (MP3 is complex),
sound-card drivers and whatever, then there's a bit more to it. If you want
it portable, then there are even more things to take into account.

(Strangely, this is one of those things that were completely trivial 30
years ago on a home computer, that now seem, to me, next to impossible to do
for yourself on a modern PC.)
