I agree that it comes too late to serve as much of a warning.
Is it possible to change the "getting low on time" sound effect or make it louder?

Yes, an option to upload a personal sound would be lovely. Failing that, some options would be kind to certain segments of members who might have auditory needs outside the 'average' or a dev meeting where it's decided that they all love that one. Some of us can't hear certain registers. Some of us need something a bit more piercing. I would prefer a semi-shrill tik tik sound for the final 10 seconds.
I get so focused that in bullet as the OP states, it's easily missed as one focuses.
Please Chess.com, make it so!
How is this not part of their UI already?! The ability to change a sound should be a basic implementation of different wav files. So I know they have the ability for you to change the default sounds, but I like the ones that are part of the default pack, but the 10 second alert is just barely audible!
Please fix this!
it makes the game almost unplayable, tiny clock no audible warning I can see.
Certain registers are inaudible to some of us. A little more piercing is required by some of us. For the final 10 seconds, I would love a tik tik sound that is little strident https://wordsfromletters.co/
Fix this, pleeeease!
I don't hear any sound in 1min blitz games to be honest. I think they removed it. Agree on the fact that the time is too small and no clues are given to the player about the remaing time.
Fix this chess.com.
FIX IT
It just can't be that difficult to add this feature. I literally never hear the sound when I'm playing bullet because I'm too focused. I'm not saying it would help me win more games, but it would at least wake me out of the focus and force me to start making some quicker moves.
People have been asking for this suggestion for years, but they will never listen. I'd love it if more players played on lichess but sadly this website just brute forces their way into #1 through marketing even though the product is subpar.
time and lag fix is horrible on site
Yes
After failing to notice the sound too many times, especially because I usually play while listening to music, my only solution has been to mute it, at least now I don't have the false security of believing to be still above 10 seconds if I don't hear anything.
People have asked for this years ago and they just ignore it. Lichess is better imo, wont be subbing again.
In one minute blitz chess there is a sound effect when you hit ten seconds (sounds like a shaker or something). Is there a way to change this to a different (hopefully more predominant sound) or just make it louder.
Would be nice to be able to pick from a few options.
