happy with it, what do you use?

Ages ago I put a small USB sound card on a server (does not matter which really as long as it has a NTP time source). Then set up a scheduled task to play a small 3 second 800Hz sound file. I used a freeware player (can’t recall the name) that spun up very fast and closed itself when done. Then the output from the sound plug mini-jack was wired to the background music input of our paging systems plant zone (since we did not use background music). Only downside was the rare case where a page was being made at exactly a shift or break time the page overrode the tone. Otherwise it worked very well for 15 years and is probably still working. Cheap and reliable.

Does anyone have automated bells or whistles in their plant to alert the
employees for breaks, lunches, shift changes, etc? If so, assuming you are
happy with it, what do you use?
TIA.
