Audible alert for disconnection

I was in a PM today with one of my visitors when I thought that he had been quiet too long. I went to main chat and found that I had been disconnected from my hub (it happens.) Could some sort of annoying noise go off if you are disconnected from a Hub before you close the program?

1) What red tabs? (Meaning, no, apparently the red tabs are not enough since I am not even aware of their existence.)
2) If I am in a PM chat and, say, reading a webpage. I can get a sound to alert me to a PM or a response in PM, why not on a disconnect?

oh when you're not looking at it, I thought u were in dc++ so the tabs going red was a good indication, probably wouldn't be too hard to make an annoying noise when it disconnects

Actually, for me they're not. Colours are not my strong point and my eyes aren't very good. At a quick glance, all those thin borders look the same to me. Only on close inspection will I see the individual colours. But if I'm inspecting so closely, I'd know what was happening *anyway*. I think solid coloured tabs would be the only way for me.

But I'm not too fussed about connects/disconnects anyway though.
