Notification sounds

There are so many different types of alerts or notifications (and it's getting more and more) and they should be distinguishable by the sound they make. Most important, I need a very alarming sound when going off-course. If I'm going downhill and miss a turn, I should hear more than a simple beep.

Best would be if Garmin provided a small library of sounds and the end user could configure one of them for a single type of notification (or even turn it off).

This could even be sold as a safety feature, as it would allow us to concentrate on the road rather than being distracted by the beeping.

And also need to remember which profile has sounds on and which off. For example if I am exercising on Tacx with headphones on, I dont need any sounds (and annoy my Partner), but on the streets I need them.

It would be also a nice feature to adjust the volume of the sounds. On 1040 they are waaay too loud (and too often - thets true).

Best case scenario would be to have additional sound / alert setup page, where you can choose from available chimes for each kind of alerts and even turn them off and have only visual heads up.
