Which alert variation to use

For a reminder that should not startle, use a Soft, Muted or Gentle Rising tone; Soft Alert Tone 50 is 0.15 s. Double-Beep tones suit a device or a timer.

Common questions about alert

Is there a soft alert sound?

Yes: the Soft Alert Tone and Muted Alert Tone files.

What is the difference between an alert and a notification?

An alert asks for action, such as a warning. A routine new message or order is on the notification page.

In code: GET https://sfxmint.com/api/v1/roles/alert returns a default alert file with alternates, and the MCP tool get_role_sound does the same for coding assistants. No key needed.
