Add Custom Sound to a script for TOS

Are the any programmers out there? I need Help! I have a simple HIGH/Low script and I need assistance with adding a custom sound (NOT ANY OF THE TOS SOUNDS) to the script when the white Low or High bubble shows on the chart.

Maybe the sound can be the word attention(LIKE ON TRADINGVIEW) the repeats 5 or 6 times.

If someone can point me in the right direction I'll appreciate it?

Thanks,

L

I am not a programmer but I use the Text-to-Speech tool that seems to be very effective. I save it to my system download files, rename it so I can id it, go into my ToS scan, edit alerts, go to Play Sound and add it to custom sounds. Make sure you have your alerts on your message center as the sound will only id the alert, you can't add the ticker to the sound alert, meaning as an example, sound will specify and 8 crossover 20, the ticker associated with the alert will show in your message center. Hope this helps, again, I am not a programmer.

Sadly no.
There are Three Types of Alerts.

The type of alert that the poster is asking about is:
alerts written into studies. They alert for all charts / grids currently populating your app whether they are minimized or not.
They cannot be sent to phone/email. They cannot have custom sounds.

There are alerts created on a chart for one specific stock that you want to alert
Right-click on your chart and choose alerts.

The type of alert that @PaulS is discussing is a scanned watchlist alert.
Which alerts whenever the results of the scan changes.
These alerts can be 3min delayed.
Yes, these can have custom sounds, they can be sent to phone/email, if you have notifications turned on in the app setup.
