<title>Flash the screen for alert sounds</title>
22
<p>Your computer will play a simple alert sound for certain types of
23
messages and events. If you have a hard time hearing these sounds, you
24
can have either the entire screen or your current window visually flash
25
whenever the alert sound is played.</p>
27
<p>This can also be useful if you're in an environment where you need your
28
computer to be silent, such as in a library. See <link xref="sound-alert"/>
29
to learn how to mute the alert sound, then enable visual alerts.</p>
