Whats good software in linux to generate certain frequencies?
judging from your motivation I can't say if it's /good software/, but
"xmms" is avail. for many linux-distros:

My motivation?! What? I didn't say anything about why I wanted to copy
that device. I think it's a cool exercise.
sorry, if my comment was a ambiguous. If you've got some more time to
exercise, it's easy to do a hardware implementation - it's called
"astable multivibrator" take a battery, two Transistors a Cap and few
Resistors,... - eg.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivibrator - for a
more professional approach, follow the NE555 IC idea. radio-shack sells
those..
If you want to get into making annoying noises: try to modulate
some high-freq. osc. - there are various tools to generate/synth sounds
on linux..
http://apps.linuxaudio.org/apps/categories/software_sound_synthesis_and_mus…
depending on your flavor try spiralsynthmodular, pure-data,
supercollider, or a dog-whistle + old hair-dryer approach ;) - There is
also the possibility of creating sick-feelings with some <16Hz sounds -
they don't exactly qualify the subject, but are IMHO more interesting.
