Notify Sounds / 3 min read

Let your agent tap you on the shoulder.

Set up gentle completion and waiting sounds for your Claude Code sessions on macOS.

Check the environment

Notify Sounds uses Claude Code hooks and macOS afplay for local playback. It does not provide audible notifications on other platforms. Try the two sounds on this page to choose a comfortable volume before configuring the plugin.

Install from the marketplace

Add the Alsheddi marketplace in Claude Code, then install notify-sounds using the command below. Restart Claude Code or reload plugins to activate it. Adding the marketplace alone does not install every plugin in the collection.

Set a comfortable volume

Use the Notify Sounds configuration skill to inspect the supported preferences. Start with a modest volume, then test the completion and waiting events. The website preview volume controls only this browser sample; it does not change your installed plugin configuration.

Match notifications to your day

Configure quiet hours and event controls using the plugin’s documented settings. A completion sound tells you work has finished. A waiting sound tells you input may be needed. Keep only the signals that help your workflow, and check their behavior during a real session.

If you do not hear anything

Confirm you are on macOS, check system volume and the plugin’s enabled state, and inspect quiet hours. Verify the hooks were loaded after installation. Claude Code has no dedicated error hook; silence should not be interpreted as proof that the task succeeded.

Keep the source close

The source link below points to the exact revision used by this website. For current releases and full configuration details, follow the repository documentation. Website catalog refreshes are reviewed explicitly, so a newer upstream version can exist before this page changes.
