If your Pi can play sound files, you can record a suitable alarm noise
and have your timer script trigger a lightweight (command line) player to
play it through alsa.

My Pi isn't running and I'm feeling too lazy to go and fire it up, but
this Fedora system provides 'paplay' as part of the pulseaudio-utils
package which does the trick: the command "paplay Diablada.flac"
immediately plays that FLAC encoded file.

This pulseaudio-utils is also available for Raspbian - and may well be
installed by default.
