# How to Generate Notification Sounds with Claude

Claude designs notification sound hierarchies through iterative terminal sessions. Generate sounds for each alert level, refine the urgency and tone through conversation, and ensure each notification is instantly distinguishable from the others. Claude creates a cohesive alert system because all sounds are designed together in context.

## Setup

claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter: claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Ask Claude: "Generate a notification sound for a messaging app" and describe the personality
3. Claude creates a distinctive notification tone
4. Request: "Generate different tones for messages, mentions, and urgent alerts"
5. Download and assign each sound to its notification type

## Example Prompt

```
Generate notification sounds for a productivity app: gentle task reminder, urgent deadline alert, team message ping, and achievement celebration. Distinctive but not jarring.
```

## Tips

- Keep notification sounds between 0.5 and 2 seconds -- long enough to notice, short enough to not annoy
- Ask for sounds that differ clearly in pitch and rhythm so users can tell them apart
- Test at various volume levels to ensure they sound good quiet and loud
