By the way, if you run that inside a terminal multiplexer
(tmux here) it will modify the pane title inside the
terminal. At least tmux will not forward it to the terminal
emulator.

Yet, it is still possible to modify the window title. Find
out the tty number of the multiplexer client and send the
escape sequence there.

  $ ps -l | grep tmux
  $ printf "\033]0;$1\007" >/dev/pts/2

Replace "2" by the value of the first command's "tt" field.
