Custom Sounds

You can override the default sounds with custom audio files:

    "statusDown": "/sounds/alert.mp3",
    "statusUp": "/sounds/success.mp3",
    "incident": "/sounds/notification.mp3"
  }

Browser Autoplay: Some browsers block autoplay audio until the user interacts with the page. Users may need to click the "Enable Sound" button first.
