##About

[Someone][2] found the current `*beep*` sound annoying and asked for a way to change the sound. Such a feature did not exist, so I created this user script which adds a button next to the notification settings button. This button opens a popup which allows you to change the sound that will be played on activity. Four presets are available (including the current one). Currently, only MP3 files are supported.

###License

Following the figure in [this licensing question][3], I decided to release it under the MIT/X11 license.

###Download

The current version is 1.0.0.0.

- http://www.lekensteyn.nl/files/se_chat_sound_notificati.user.js

###Platform

In addition to the requirements for the audio notification, a modern browser with user scripts support is required. The user script was tested in:

- Firefox 5
- Chromium 12
- Opera 11.50

##Contact
Bugs and suggestions can be reported by commenting, or emailing me at `[email protected]`.

##Code

The script is written in JavaScript using jQuery. Stack Exchange Chat works with MP3 files, supported by the Flash Player. Although jPlayer supports HTML5 `<audio>`, this is disabled by Stack Exchange.
