Change the horrible Doorbell sound

[dereks16]

That doorbell sound is so loud and annoying compared to the subtler sounds. Especially in games like Through the Ages. It rings multiple times each turn, so I'm forced to turn it off, but then I have no audio feedback for when it's my turn. A simple 1 dimensional chime or something less abrasive would be a very simple but HUGE IMPROVEMENT

i've heard of times where family dogs have started running to the door barking when hearing that sound. it definitely catches your attention. here's what my choices had been:

It's my turn
Droid
Someone speaks in the chatroom
Plop
Someone makes a move
Couic
Someone joins the table
Friction
Game is ready to start
Door bell

however, a few months back, i stopped getting any sound functionality at all on BGA outside of the settings page. the sound tests correctly when i click on the 'play' link on the preferences page, but when i get back to the games, no sounds. a silent BGA sort of allows me to focus on the gameplay ... but i do miss not getting notifications for game startups when i am in another window.

EDIT: figured out the sound issue ... i had somehow clicked the mute sound icon in the top right of the top header bar somewhere along the way (probably when i was travelling) and never remembered to turn it back on

I think you're the only one playing at that game.

This doesn't load and when I change it to English, it just goes to the home page.

I don't like the doorbell either.

It would be nice to be able to customize sounds, like the option to customize your CSS in the options.

When we have regular board game nights, I have one friend who'll say everyone's name as soon as their turn comes up.
It'd be amusing to me to upload their voice, as a nudging reminder instead of the doorbell, which is too loud (while the rest of the sounds are too quiet).

I'd have to hit him.

I personally love the doorbell sound.
