Just messed with this myself this week. Running 10.5 so far. Here is what I learned. The alarm only goes of once for each "down" event, if the time stamp is the same as it was or no new object went down than it will not sound again. Also, you do not have to be on the alerts page. You can add a resource to the page as in nodes with problems and it will alert on anything that shows up in there, usually all things that you have in the advanced alerts. One last thing, it plays from the browser that is logged in, not from the server itself. You can however add new sounds to the server in that particular folder.
