If needed, this can be redirected (through your network or through cabling) to a PA or announcement system.

Example

[
   {
       "method": "announce",
       "presound": "C:\\Sounds\\Bell.wav",
   }
]

The above example would play an audio file, then use text-to-speech to convert the message into an audible announement.
