Different sounds for Claude Code: telling 'done', 'permission', 'failed' apart by ear
Fragrant-Minute-3284 · reddit · 2026-08-28
A developer shares how they made Claude Code announce why it wants attention, not just that it does: distinct sounds for "done", "needs permission", and "failed", so states are distinguishable without looking at the screen. It stays quiet if a turn took under 30 seconds (you were probably still watching), and with several agents running in parallel, each project gets its own pitch so you know which one is calling.
