Priority of sounds on the Zone

Hey

I've noticed one thing that would be cool if it were changed (I thinnk) and it has to do with the sounds that are used to denote messages, private messages and a new user logging in to the site.
The problem is that the sound for a new user logging in has priority over the other two so if you get a private message and someone else logs in, when you refresh the page that contains these two events you hear the door bell type sound meaning that someone has logged in but you don't hear the sound indicating you got a private message.
I think, at least speaking for myself, I'd be more interested in making sure I don't miss out on a rivate note I received than knowing what new user logged in (since the user list is always on top of the page but retrieving a private message I missed out on might require me to go back many times if I discover it while browsing the site later).
So is it possible to set the priority of a pm higher than the sound of a new user logging in or possibly to have a sound preference list under the personal profile settings (possibly as a premium feature) where one could control this and turn sounds on and off for different notifications ?
cheers

I agree. I have missed private messages before when I chose to ignore the doorbell sound and then found out later that someone sent me a private quicknote that I didn't read.

Actualyl, tat's how it used to be. If it was somehow changed, I'll have to go back and fix it.

JJ, yeap, I'm afraid that's how it is now. :)
If you can fix it that would be awesome indeed.
Thanks for your hard work man, we appreciate it
