Using PingBell
Custom celebration sounds
Every source can have its own sound. Pick from PingBell's library of 70+ built-in sounds — bells, cheers, chimes, cash registers, gongs, and more.
Changing a source’s sound
- Open Sources in the web app and click the pencil icon on the source.
- Pick a Sound category and a Sound. The library has 70+ built-in options across categories like Bell, Chime, Gong, Horn, Voice, Winning, and Woo Hoo — a sample plays as you browse, and the ▶ button replays it.
- Click 🎉 Preview to hear it inside the full celebration — confetti, message, and all.
- Click Save. The new sound plays on the next event, on every screen showing that source.
You can also change the sound without leaving the board editor: select a counter block and pick the sound under Celebration — it updates the source directly.
Best practices
- Distinctive across sources. If five sources feed your screens, make each sound obviously different — the team should know what just happened without looking.
- Match the vibe. A sales floor wants a bell or a cheer. A support team wants a gentle chime. A fundraiser might want applause.
Different sounds for different events
Sounds live on the source, so to give different event types different sounds, create a source per event type — “Orders” rings the cash register, “Big orders” rings the gong — and point each at its own counter or the same board.
Troubleshooting
I don’t hear any sound
Check the screen’s mute chip first (bottom-left of any cast surface — see muting sounds on a screen). Browsers also require one tap before a page may play audio — if the screen shows Tap to enable sound, tap it once.
