Play sound on new row after automatic refresh

I am very new to HeidiSQL and currently I am not familiar with all of its features. I searched all the settings but could not find this feature.

I want if a new row is fetched after an auto refresh or manual refresh then it should play a sound to inform about the new data.

Is this feature already available? If not then what do you say about adding this in next update?

This is not a feature of HeidiSQL yet, and I don't think this is something really helpful and reasonable.

@ansgar: It may not be useful for all but still it is useful. Not each and every person uses HeidiSQL for the same reason. Like in my case, I use HeidiSQL for getting some request/comment from the user of my website. The website doesn't have notification system upon request/comment to my email, but I know the table which contains the request/comment. I have set auto-refresh to 1 minutes. Whenever new comment/request occurs, a new row gets added which then fetched by HeidiSQL. This helps me not to check the website regularly after 1 minutes, I get this from HeidiSQL. The problem is sometimes I forgot to check HeidiSQL for a long time because of busy. That's why I need SOUND. Whenever a new row is fetched then it play a sound so that I can check it immediately.
Please add this feature. It will remain turned off by default, but those who require it will enable it.
Hoping to see it in Next Update. What do you say?

Instead of playing a sound, what about making the HeidiSQL application on the task bar flash?

It may be effective but not so more like the sound because sometimes you are not using your computer and doing some work nearby your computer. So sound will give you audible information.
Flashing on the taskbar is also a good option because sometimes while you were not there, it will play sound. After sometimes you came and continued your task on another app without checking HeidiSQL then at that time it will be very useful.
What about incorporating both, Audio and Flash?

@ansgar : Are you going to add this in future updates?
Please let me know. I need that and if you don't want to add it then please tell me , I will search for some other program which can do this required job.

AS said above, I don't think this would be a reasonable feature for the majority of users. So I won't implement such a feature.
