Nothing a little reading won't fix.

Hmm...

I think so, but I've never done it myself. It's always been a
section of the manpage that I wanted to toy with, but didn't have
reason to (since irssi handles alerts just fine; read elsewhere in
this thread).
If you want to give it a try, though, here's the relevant section:
$ man 1 screen
...
| !:sed -n s/.*Error.*/\007/p
| Sends window output to both, the user and the sed command. The sed
| inserts an additional bell character (oct. 007) to the window output
| seen by screen. This will cause "Bell in window x" messages, whenever
| the string "Error" appears in the window.
