About The Pull Request

Repost of #7401 that doesn't have as grating sounds and also a cooldown Each department plays a small radio tone when recieving a message from it

The way the cooldown works is every department radio message resets the timer, and if 20 seconds pass without a departmental message, the next message triggers the dept chime. This greatly helps reduce spam, as the long delay helps it not get exhausing

AND ALSO THERES A TOGGLE UNDER GAME PREFS

Why It's Good For The Game

Quickly gets your attention about a new message, charm, little easter eggs and also IT HAS A COOLDOWN THIS TIME, it wont spam, it will work, its F I N E

AN D YOU CAN DISABLE IT

Maybe make it as a toggleable option? that way if someone really dislike it they can keep it disabled either as a game preference or in the headset

Now that's not constantly spammed it's an interesting feature to have

Provide a demonstration for all of the sounds so we don't have to download the files. If they're the exact same sounds from the last PR.

May we know where are all this sounds from? The Security one sounds like the Half Life 2 Metropolice radio and I really don't know what's the Licensing of it
