Alert Sound Effect
I'm guessing Leap being web-based makes this difficult to outright impossible but a warning sound effect for Leap's modal alerts would be nice.
Something like:
var audio = new Audio('audio_file.mp3');
audio.play();
Assuming alerts in leap use Bootstrap's modal function calling the audio function after the shown.bs.modal trigger fires might work.

Samantha had asked for examples. I am not sure if these are the same as Mike's instances, but in case it is helpful, one of the libraries in this consortium identified the lack of audio cues for the popups seen on the attached screenshots as specific pain points. The image name depicts what the pop up is and when they encountered it (checking in or out).

I use aural cues to confirm that something has happened in LEAP. It would be nice to have a beep of some sort when there is a pop-up that staff need to be aware of.

The issue primarily has less to do with toasts (these don't typically interfere with staff functions) but rather with alerts that require staff input particularly during check-out and check-in (bulk mode). Primary example during check-in would be an alert for a Hold Request.
I will add that for yellow toasts, particularly item not found, a sound would also be useful.
This will be less of an issue for Check-outs once we have the ability to suppress some messages (particularly the held items block).

Mike - Can you clarify when you'd like to hear this alert? Leap does have some alerts/sounds in circulation workflows. Are you asking for that alert noise to be played for every red toast? Every yellow toast? Something else?
