a sound at the end of a render or a bake

Most of the time when leaving the bake process or when leaving an animation or image rendering, it is not clear how much waiting time you have to take into account, it can sometimes be faster than at other times, it would be a good idea that when any of these processes finish, a pinnn! sounds, or some other sound that indicates that the process finished, notifying you about it.

I just made an addon to at least notify on when render or bake is done/canceled, with CC0 sounds shipped with it:

L0Lock/AudioNotifier: Gives Blender audio notifications for success, cancel and warning events.

It is on the approval queue of the extensions platform: Review: Audio Notifier — Blender Extensions

I tried to find a way to make it work with any operator's fail, warning or completion, but I couldn't find an easy way to do it. But I made my addon's operator available for anyone who wishes to use it without having to make yet another warning sound picker.

Some informational feedback when a bake is done would be great, whether this be an optional sound or a system notification.

Always have liked it when other DCC software plays a WAV for either finishing a job, or failing out of one. No idea why someone would downvote this sort of thing.
