20 bundled notification WAV files in taskcoachlib/sounds/, organized by category: Gentle/Subtle (gentle-chime, water-drop, wind-chime, music-box), Bells/Chimes (bright-bell, bell-classic, temple-bell, sleigh-bell), Alert/Alarm (soft-alarm, alarm-clock, rising-alert, urgent-beep), Musical (piano-note, xylophone, marimba, harp-gliss), Digital/Modern (two-tone, electronic-ping, message-ping, doorbell). Playback uses the platform's native audio: paplay on Linux (talks to PulseAudio/PipeWire), afplay on macOS, wx.adv.Sound on Windows. wx.adv.Sound uses the dead OSS backend on Linux and produces no audio despite returning success - paplay is the cross-platform fix. Preferences > Reminders: sound dropdown with Test button (uses ThemedGenBitmapTextButton with knotify icon, matching IconPicker pattern). Default: Gentle Chime. Sound plays when the reminder popup appears. Generator script at taskcoachlib/sounds/generate_sounds.py creates WAVs from sine waves with harmonics and envelopes. WAVs are committed to the repo (472 KB total) - the script is a dev tool for modifying or adding sounds. New docs/REMINDERS.md with cross-links from SCHEDULERS.md, DATETIME_PRESETS.md, and TODO.md.
