Feature Request: Add completion/success notification sound for agent turns #69186

Feature Request: Add completion notification sound

Problem / User Need

When an agent completes a turn (finishes generating a response), users have no audible indication that the response is ready. Hermes Agent's WebUI provides a notification sound when tasks complete, which is very useful for users who keep the tab in the background.

Proposed Solution

Add an optional completion sound/notification that plays when an agent finishes generating a response, similar to Hermes Agent's task completion sound. This could be:

  1. A simple ding/notification sound (Web Audio API)
  2. Configurable on/off in settings
  3. Optional custom sound URL

Use Cases

  • Background tabs: User hears when response is ready without needing to watch the tab
  • Task completion awareness: Helps users know when a long-running subagent task has finished
  • Accessibility: Improves experience for users relying on audio cues

Platform

  • OpenClaw Control UI (webchat)
  • Possibly extendable to other channels

References

  • Hermes Agent WebUI reportedly has this feature
  • This is a common feature in many chat/agent interfaces
