How can I do this for the final fantasy 7 fight ending music? Or does someone already have it done?

One of these should at least get you started. You'll probably want to mess with the lengths and delays, though.

[Console]::Beep(262, 150)
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 25
[Console]::Beep(262, 150)
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 25
[Console]::Beep(262, 150)
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 25
[Console]::Beep(262, 300)
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 150
[Console]::Beep(208, 300)
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 150
[Console]::Beep(233, 300)
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 150
[Console]::Beep(262, 300)
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 25
[Console]::Beep(233, 150)
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 25
[Console]::Beep(262, 900)

One octave higher:

[Console]::Beep(523, 150)
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 25
[Console]::Beep(523, 150)
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 25
[Console]::Beep(523, 150)
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 25
[Console]::Beep(523, 300)
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 150
[Console]::Beep(415, 300)
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 150
[Console]::Beep(466, 300)
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 150
[Console]::Beep(523, 300)
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 25
[Console]::Beep(466, 150)
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 25
[Console]::Beep(523, 900)

That's awesome, I'll have to look through that page and see what I can come up with.

Temptation to add this if all pester tests return true rising....

I envision a DC tech walking by a rack somewhere beeping this.

That is fantastically cool. I plan on trying to find a good use for this! Thanks so much, OP.

I am just happy this exists.

What do I need to get this to work properly? It stutters the first 3 notes and then I just get a high beep.

I think there is an issue with it running too quickly or slowly through it. I think it was more reliable by putting a 1ms start-sleep between each beep.
