You could make it even more general purpose buy putting the guts of it
in a function called say, doAfter()

def doAfter(t,f):
''' t is the time required and f is a function to be executed
    after t expires.'''

Thus in your current case you would call

doAfter( t, lambda : winsound.beep(500) )

Just a thought... :-)
