I worked in a quantitative trading company, and the traders would use sound effects for every kind of alert. Each time a risk limit gets hit, a disembodied voice would say "<system name> limits!" or make a pig oink or something. There was a shared folder of thousands of .wav files.
It reminds me of plane cockpits where the system barks out things like "Terrain! Pull up!" if the pilot needs to react instantly.
