    This was suggested before, but it seemed unaddressed in the thread, I can't seem to find any sort of option anywhere on the client interface ("Enable Sounds" under Battle Options doesn't do what I need it to), and there doesn't even seem to be a server command that I can call to permit/prevent audible notification of events.

    It seems incredible that the linked thread is all I've found on this matter, considering it's such a simple feature that would likely have been considered before. So if I'm missing something (e.g. it's easy to find, look here you numbskull; no, we won't implement because something), let me know that I'm being a dolt. Otherwise, could enabling/disabling sounds for events be implemented in the client? I often end up missing PMs because I'll have the window minimized and won't notice the flashing in the bottom of the screen, which can leave many pings for my attention (e.g., gym battle requests, notification of a tournament opponent's presence) unanswered until it's too late.

    It might be nice just to have a simple "Ding..." or something like "Beep.." when received the PM/Notification(s) on the Server. If that helps..

    yeah, this would be nice since, I don't get flashed anymore (PO just doesn't pop up when I get a PM/New round in a tour), and this way, I can easily tell when they happen.

    Yeah since the flash got token out couple of updates ago. But if the person doesn't have/use sound. Would this mess up the PO? Or just nothing would happen..

    I hope that if this potential feature gets added, than it is also added to android.. A toggleable "Ding, or Beep" when you get a PM would be helpful and awesome imo!!!!
