Ichimoku Cloud Audible Alerts

Hey everyone,

I have no idea how to code and I'm hoping someone can help me out with this. I'd like to set up an audible alert when a candle closes in an Ichimoku cloud. It can be coded for every candle to set an audible alert finishing in the cloud. I won't be able to stay in front of the computer and that would be helpful in case I don't hear the first alert. I can just turn off and on as needed when I step away. If more information is needed, please let me know!
Thanks!
Edit: I am using the TOS Ichimoku indicator

The alert code is at the bottom of this script. The lookback = 1 will wait until the close of the bar is completed before sounding the alert.

plot Chikou = close[-kijun_period];

Tenkan.SetDefaultColor(GetColor(1));

input usealerts = yes;
input lookback  = 1;
Alert(usealerts and Between(close[lookback], "Span B", "Span A"), "BULL", Alert.BAR, Sound.Chimes);
Alert(usealerts and Between(close[lookback], "Span A", "Span B"), "BEAR", Alert.BAR, Sound.Chimes);
