There is no sound played when an undo or claim requires a response the its-your-play ding

There is a Ding sound that is played to indicate that it is my turn.
The problem is that there is no sound played when a response from me is required, but it is not my turn.
Specific examples:
  • When another player asks for an undo
  • When another player makes a claim

The problem comes up during slow play when my attention is diverted and I am waiting for the ding to bring me back to the game.

Further on the subject of the "its-your-play ding" it would be nice if there was an option to turn off all other sounds except for that ding.
AND
When you are waiting for an unresponsive player:
1) the message that ways 'waiting for unresponsive player" should play a ding to that player
2) it should be possible to 'ding' an unresponsive player with some kind of button. This would need to be limited so that it is not annoying.
- only available when it is their turn and you have waited for 30 sec
- only 1 button push per minute for each player

A couple of your points have existing solutions:

- You can turn off sounds for everything except "Your Turn" (shuffle, card played, chat, invite, new round, TD call) under account settings.
- With an unresponsive player you can send them a private message.

Finally, not paying attention to the game is a breach of the rules. Do you think the rules do not apply to you just because you are playing virtually and easily distracted?

I agree. I may be off looking at something else, despite any rules, while my action is required.
Please add a sound for Claims and claim denials.
