Well in windows 8 it is the same sound. I always thought of it as an alert sound. Yes like a dor bell. I also find it useful to know when I have such an alert in outlook or internet explorer.

It actually reminds me of a doorbell, at least with Windows 7. I'm not sure if the windows 8.1 sound for the information bar is different for that, but for win 7 I'd actually call that more of a doorbell, ding dong! Either way, it's good that that particular sound can be turned off easily. I like it, because it lets me know a download is ready to go, or something else with the information bar needs my attention.

I don't mind it in IE, but it gets pretty tedious while reading email. And wouldn't you think warning sounds should be restricted to possibly dangerous situations? Why should it clang when opening .txt messages? > > Louis Gosselin > > > > _______________________________________________ > Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared. > > For membership options, visit http://lists.window-eyes.com/options.cgi/talk-window-eyes.com/sclower%40aisq uared.com. > For subscription options, visit > http://lists.window-eyes.com/listinfo.cgi/talk-window-eyes.com > List archives can be found at > http://lists.window-eyes.com/private.cgi/talk-window-eyes.com > > > _______________________________________________ > Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared. > > For membership options, visit http://lists.window-eyes.com/options.cgi/talk-window-eyes.com/rascal0826%40v erizon.net. > For subscription options, visit > http://lists.window-eyes.com/listinfo.cgi/talk-window-eyes.com > List archives can be found at > http://lists.window-eyes.com/private.cgi/talk-window-eyes.com > _______________________________________________ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.
