Sound Alerts are a handy way to keep up with new activity in your AI Chatbot without constantly checking the chat window.
But adding a sound to every action can quickly make the chatbot louder rather than more useful. Here are a few tips for keeping alerts noticeable without turning them into another distraction 
Help users know their message was sent
When a visitor sends a message, a short sound can make the interaction feel more immediate and confirm that their message went through.
Bubble, Click, and Soft work particularly well here. They’re brief, gentle, and easy to recognize without distracting from the conversation 
Leave some actions silent
It can be tempting to choose a sound for every available action. In practice, though, a quieter setup often makes the important alerts stand out more.
For example:
- Open Window: No sound
- Messages: Bubble
Or:
- Open Window: Soft 2
- Messages: Click
Both setups keep the chatbot noticeable without making every interaction compete for attention.
Give your setup a little time
A sound can seem perfect when you hear it once in the settings. Hearing it throughout the day is a different story.
Try your setup for a day or two before settling on it. You’ll quickly notice which sounds feel natural and which ones become a little too noticeable after the tenth or twentieth time.
Key Takeaway: There’s no single perfect combination. The best setup is the one you recognize when it matters — and barely think about the rest of the time
