% function Beeper(frequency, [fVolume], [durationSec]);
%
% Play a beep sound. Default is 400 Hz for .15 sec.
% frequency can be a number, or else the string 'high', 'med', or 'low'.
%
% fVolume - normalized to range of 0 - 1. Default is 0.4;
% Warning: 1 is the maximum volume and is often very loud!
%
% Funny name is because Matlab 6 contains a built-in function called "beep".
%
% 2006-02-15 - cburns
% - Added fVolume param
% - Swapped parameter order
%
% 2006-02-02 - cburns
% - Scaled down the volume of the sound to match the system volume better. It was at maximum volume.
% Would scare you enough to rip the bite bar off it's mount!
% And switched to useing the sound() function, instead of the soundsc() function
% which, by default, maximizes the volume.
% - Update, using the PsychToolbox Snd function which should return immediately.
% Were experiencing delays with sound function
