Sound accompanying the effect?

The Idea

Don't know if it's technically possible but would it somehow be possible to add a short and non-obtrusive sound effect esp. when the window is being closed? I think it could sit well with many of the existing effects (fire, broken glass, t-rex..).

The Alternatives

I've checked Gnome settings and could not find anything related to playing a sound when a window is being closed. Even Windows XP had a way to define custom sound for some events (quitting a program or minimize/maximize) which makes me wonder if Gnome desktop is really lacking this feature.

Thanks for the suggestion! I think it's a great suggestion as it would make the extension even more ridiculous :laughing:

However, finding free and non-obtrusive sound effects for going-up-in-flames, a t-rex attack, or glass shattering will be a challenge...

I just tested it and technically, it would be possible. However, finding fitting sound effects is really hard. Would you like help creating this feature by contributing some sound effects (with a permissive license)?

I Found This For The Tv Effect One: https://youtu.be/YMUtZy-nwAw The Sound Starts From 0:03 And Ends At 0:04. It's Free Use Btw.

And This One For The Disintegration Effect: https://youtu.be/anBOuaxwDZI I Think The One At 0:07 Is Perfect.

For The Glass Shattering Effect, I Think This One Sounds Right: https://youtu.be/vPqlaVOOsGg

For The Flames One: https://youtu.be/CLDnBBbWUZ0 I Can't Decide Which Sound Effect Is Better In This One :(

Thanks for the links, @Robby9705! However, I do not like to include assets into the extension without a clear license. Even if the videos state "free to use" and "no copyright" it is not clear who created them, where the sound effects come from or under which conditions they can be redistributed.

I'll only include sound effects for which all of these things are clearly stated. For example, sound effects released under a Creative Commons License would be nice.

How about providing the possibility to configure which sound to use (specify a local path)? That way, everyone will be able to have the preferred sounds and you have no copyright issues ...
