Sound when game starts?

Did there used to be a sound when games start? Can't remember, but if not, would be nice to have. Especially helps for game formats where you have to wait a long time to get matched with someone and you're doing some other activity in the meantime.

there is a sound already

I'm not getting it. Feel like I used to though. Guess it's just one of those things that may get fixed one day.

Hmm, do you have chess.com muted? Maybe turn up your sound?

All the other sounds are fine, just not the start game sound. Guess I'll file a bug report.

same problem here; it started together with other problems in bughouse, where the partner board disappear or is not updated until I reload it

This is what chess.com staff told me:

"A common fix for many browser issues is a cache clear. This can help get rid of old/bad data to optimize the performance of the site. If you haven't already, this would be a great time to ensure you have the latest available update for your browser! Lastly, you can try and disable any extensions you have to see if this helps the issue!

None of these solutions helped me (on Firefox or Chrome)

Same happened to me.  After being paired for a game, there used to be a sound like 3-4 clicks before the game actually started. That sound seems to no longer exists. Would be great to bring it back. Every other sound is fine so, it's not a cache or settings issue.
