# Configuring the Sound Notification

You can set different sounds for alarms at different levels. When the ATIC Management center receives an alarm, the client host sound box plays the audio notification for the highest level and Uncleared and Unconfirmed alarms.

#### Context

- The alarm severity level can be critical, major, minor, or warning. The sound can be a Normal or a Cyclic for different alarm severity levels.

  If the sound type is set Normal, the system plays the audio notification per thirty seconds for the highest level and Uncleared and Unconfirmed alarms. If the sound type is set Cyclic, the system plays cyclic audio notifications for the Uncleared and Unconfirmed alarms. It is recommended to set Cyclic for critical and major alarms in case that the maintenance personnel is not on site temporarily and cannot hear the alarm sound.

- You can click Restore Defaults to set the alarm sound to the default value. The sound notification is enabled for the Critical alarms by default.
- There will be no sound notification for the alarms occurring on the masked resources or the confirmed alarms.
- It is not recommended to disable the sound notification for all levels of alarms, avoiding the delayed handling of alarms.

#### Procedure

3. Select an alarm severity level on the Modify Alarm Sound page to enable the sound notification for this alarm severity level.
