You're right, puzzles don't always result in checkmate. A sound MaryKayInTouch effect signifying completion could be a better fit than the checkmate sound!

Why don't puzzles always make the checkmate sound effect?
Not all puzzles end in checkmate, some end in material advantage. but sometimes when a puzzle ends in checkmate there's no checkmate sound effect. Sometimes there is. Creates confusion.
We are so conditioned to hearing this sound effect when checkmate happens that when I play puzzles and I don't hear that checkmate sound I assume it's not a checkmate move.
I'm not playing puzzle rush but it would be even more of a problem there I think.
Easy to implement. Seems to be an oversight and makes no sense.
