There doesn t seem to be a post-build solution task. One could presumably hack it by creating a dummy project that is the last one to build and put a beep in the post-build project.
Do you need something like this (screenshot is there)?
Did you know you can assign sounds to a few Visual Studio events? You can assign a WAV file to play when a build fails or succeeds. Just open the Control Panel, select Sounds and Audio Devices and then click the Sounds tab. Scroll down to Microsoft Development Environment. I assigned my Build Succeeded to a WAV file of Darth Vader saying "All Too Easy" and my Build Failed to a WAV file of Han Solo saying "I got a bad feeling about this."
There is Visual Studio Ding extension.
This small extension will play notification sounds when following events occur:
- Build Complete
- Entering debugger mode (breakpoint hit, etc)
- Unit tests finished to run

The ToastNotifier Extension seems to work well for visual feedback.
Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices. Then on the Sounds tab you ll find a set of sounds for Microsoft Visual Studio in the Program Events list. You can attach a sound to build finishing, etc.
You could write a simple .bat file that you could add to the post-build events...

I have used this.
It s pretty neat for visual notification, while the options posted by others are all fine for audio.
Personally I just have the "Output" window turn on by default and don t use the task list. This way I can see what it is doing at all times. I find the messages from this window to be much more enlightening than the task/error list.
I use Growl with visual studio add on. It s also working with VS2013 by using this tweak.
You can also now as of VS2019 gain access to the system sounds through the UI. Go Options->Test.
