How can I configure Qt Creator to play a sound notification when it finishes compiling a project, so I get an audible cue when my build is ready?

I found this plugin https://github.com/yeckel/SoundOnBuild which does exactly this.
The bad part is that it was made 10 years ago.

@RacerGod You could add a custom build step (either in qmake / CMake or in Creators project setting) that starts a player with that sound.

I'm not entirely sure if Qt Creator supports this in their integrated console, but you can try just echoing the character
\ato the console. This character is known as 'bell' (though the 'a' stands for 'alert'). -

But it's nothing like an explicit sound like the plugin's wav file above https://github.com/yeckel/SoundOnBuild/blob/master/kids-cheer-01.wav

But on finishing a build I want a symphony to be played. Not just any symphony, I want an AI to compose a new symphony to play after each build.... :) -

There is another plugin that does what you expect: https://github.com/vivaladav/SIGBUILD
A Qt Creator plugin to get notified when your builds terminate and to track their stats.
Project Status
Currently the plugin is usable and the project is under development with regular releases to update it to the latest major version of Qt Creator.
People who want to start to use SIGBUILD need to build it from scratch following the instruction in the Development section.
Because of the current status of the project, it's guaranteed only that SIGBUILD will work >with the latest version of Qt Creator. Previous versions are likely to work too, but they are >not officially supported, so please do not create issues for them.
Current features
- Systray notifications
- Audio notifications
- Latest build info
- Session log
- Full Qt Creator options
