Whenever your Mac encounters a problem, a sound effect ensues. Did you know that there are over 100 sound effects you can choose from? Now, you are definitely wondering where you can access these sound effects. Apple has allowed users to pick anyone of their 100 sound effects straight from Garageband and implement them as their “alert sound”.
If you are looking to change your sound alert on your Mac and customize your experience as a user, you have come to the right place. In a few simple steps, you can test hundreds of sound effects and see how they fit on your computer.
Step #1: Open System Preferences on your Mac and click on the Sound icon
