You may add typewriter sounds on key presses:

    autocmd InsertCharPre * call sound_playfile("/path/to/soundfile")

With sound_playevent() you may easily play system sounds (the sounds in
/System/Library/Sounds):

    call sound_playevent("Sosumi")

Personally, I would really like Vim to play a sound on search wrap—but
that does not seem easy to do.

If you use Vim to build, compile, or launch (asynchronous) jobs, you may
use sounds to signal when a job is over.

Another (more or less extravagant) idea: combine with timers to make
a “Pomodoro” (a time span for focusing on something): launch a timer
that plays a sound 20–25 minutes from the current time.

Generally speaking, I think that the main use for sounds is hook on some
autocommand or on some callback from asynchronous jobs or timers.

Hope this helps,
Life.
