Is there a way to enable the bell terminal and other sound notification from the terminal, while my "play user interface sound effect" setting is off ?

I don't like to have any sound notification (I prefer the flashing screen), but I'm using weechat and I wish I could enable some sound notification in it.

You can create separate profiles one with sound disabled (default) and one with sound enabled (for your weechat). These are available both in Terminal and iTerm2.

    thanks for your answer and to took the time to take screenshot.

    maybe I should have been clearer : in System Preferences / Sound / Sound effect , I disabled the "Play user interface sound effects", cause I don't want any sound from the U. So what I'm looking for is a solution to overwrite this setting just for the terminal/iterm2

    maybe there is a way with a command line.

  • For me that Play user interface sound effects settings doesn't have any effect on terminal bell sound (El Capitan 10.11.1) – sdayal Nov 06 '15 at 16:45
  • you are correct. I stand corrected - my alert volume was all the way down. sorry and thanks for your help – aroom Nov 06 '15 at 16:59
  • but now, I wish I could get the alert for the terminal exclusively. any idea ? – aroom Nov 06 '15 at 17:06
  • It disables sounds like dragging items to trash, but for sounds inside terminal the profile settings takes preference. Do you hear a bell in terminal window on pressing say F10 with Play user interface sound effects disabled but Audible Bell enabled? – sdayal Nov 06 '15 at 17:06
  • yes. just need to rise the alert volume a bit. do you have any idea how I could enable the alert sound just for the terminal ? – aroom Nov 06 '15 at 17:11
  • With Play user interface sound effects disabled but Audible Bell in your terminal profile preferences enabled, you should be able to get what you are looking for (see screenshot). – sdayal Nov 06 '15 at 17:17
