WROOOOONG!  print '\a' sends ASCII 0x07 to the terminal, which then is
handled by the terminal the way you (or the developer) told it to
handle it.  Now, you have set PuTTY to ignore bells (or, more likely,
did not bother to change the setting and got the default).  This is
why you did not hear it.

Because cmd (or whatever else you used) is set to make sound with the bell.
