The n900 has the habit of bonging, beeping, buzzing and so on. There seems to be so many of them for different notification events. I don't know about you but I get totally confused which sound is for which event.

So I decided to make my own sound bites using human readable voices. I used an online text-to-speech synthesizer to create sentences like "You have mail" or "The system is shutting down" and so on. Then I appended them to their original sound bites. This is much better as now I hear "Battery low... bong" and I understand exactly what the notification event is.

When I get time I will post up the replacement soundbites with instructions on how to replace them.

One thing I cant seem to do is figure out how to differentiate between a different network connection type. Currently I can play a message saying "network connected" but I would like to be able to say "GPRS connected" and "WiFi connected" or even "3G connected" depending on the connection type. Anyone know how to do this.
