If you have sox installed, you may try:

play -n synth sine 440 synth 0 0 0 1 2 8 trapezium amod 1.8

Here the  1.8 is the number of beats per second which is equivalent to 
108 bpm.

The 440 is the frequency of the tone. You may replace the "sine 440" 
with "noise" if you prefer a drum-like sound instead.
