if $error
  play ~event-error -volume:60
  notify "Please try again"
end

Best Practices

1. Be Consistent - Use the same sounds for similar actions
2. Keep It Subtle - Lower volumes (50-70) often work better
3. Provide Feedback - Use sounds to confirm user actions
4. Test on Devices - Sounds may vary across devices
