I recommend eggtimer.
It is useful .

and I wrote a simple one-liner.
If mplayer is already installed, this script will work in Osso-Xterm.

Code:

for i in `seq 0 30` ;  do  echo $i min ; mplayer -really-quiet  /usr/share/sounds/camera-video-record.wav  ; sleep 60 ; done

Copy&paste it and press the Return key.
but strictly speaking , this script doesn't keep good time.
(lose 0.3~0.5 sec / loop)

Code:

> time  mplayer /usr/share/sounds/camera-video-record.wav  -really-quiet
real    0m 0.41s
