I have been wondering if it would help if Vim could play a sound. Think of a gentle "ping" to indicate the cursor can't move there, or a "tadaa" when a background build finishes successfully. At least I have had times where I didn't notice something that was going on, because I was looking in the wrong place. Currently there only is the annoying beep (which I usually have disabled).
I wonder how useful this would be. It's probably a matter of taste anyway. And it only works locally (unless there is an xterm sequence to play a sound?). And I wonder if it can be implemented in a way it's portable. There are some audio libraries floating around, but I don't expect the "-dev" version to be installed on most systems. Perhaps MS-Windows has something that's always available? Another way would be to use a system command (in the background), but that could have some latency. -- >From "know your smileys": ...---...
