[FEATURE] Feature Request: Sound Notifications for User Input and Task Completion

Preflight Checklist

• [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

## Feature Request

Description:
Add configurable sound notifications to Claude Code to alert users when:

1. Claude needs user input (e.g., after AskUserQuestion tool calls)
2. A task or operation completes

Benefits:

• Improved developer experience for long-running operations
• Reduced context switching
• Better awareness of when Claude needs input

Proposed Solution

Proposed Implementation:

• Add sound settings to ~/.claude/settings.json:

```json
{
"sounds": {
"enabled": true,
"onUserInputRequired": true,
"onTaskComplete": true,
"customSoundPath": "/path/to/custom.mp3"
}
}

• Use system sounds by default (macOS: afplay, Linux: aplay, Windows: powershell -c)
• Allow custom sound files
• Respect system Do Not Disturb settings

Use Case Example

Use Case:
When working on longer tasks or background operations, users often switch to other applications. Sound notifications would help users know when their attention is needed without
constantly monitoring the terminal.
