Try 5 mSec or so of a 1000 Hz square wave. It gives a decent "tick" sound.

I've often wondered (ok, not THAT often) how to get a microcontoller to
generate a convincing "tick" or "tock" sound out of a speaker.  Little
beeps are just ... inelegant, and simply driving the cone with DC seems
like it would be too short...
