I was annoyed by my default terminal bell sound and that got me thinking!

I have to use Windows at work so I've replaced the system sounds with some that are substantially less jarring. I've no idea why the defaults are so abrupt and uncomfortable.

On my phone I have toast popping up for my emails, a Garand ping for texts, and various silly things for messages from specific friends (often snippets of voice clips they've sent over the years).

That's an original idea!
