Thoughts about a workaround would be to craft your own since you can beep and then call the OS to sleep or hibernate. Given the free EXPRESS versions of Visual Studio are "free" you can make this small and include what other features you want at the same time.

I miss the beeping noise my XP system made when I hibernated it. Is there a way to get my Windows 7 system to beep to let me know it went into hibernate mode?
Thanks!
