@fussl , LOL, Yeah a beep from the UI of a musical instrument would not be good. A flash of the screen or status bar is what I’m suggesting. Similar to a silent terminal bell on Linux?
I have to agree with everyone who says that an audible indicator is really bad, hence the thread title.
I like midi instruments too !
Anyway.
Puting Bold between 1 full second and 4 is not enough to to resolve your feeling problem ?
(I guess Long is okay, but you have trouble only with Short and Bold)

Not if you can only hear.
This development has coincided with the ability to run multiple destinations and as such a talkback track or monitor feed, may well include audio cues, be they a countdown clock or metronome feed on a performers local monitor feed.
I fully appreciate that it’s presence in the ‘main’ has all the charm of the various bleeps and whistles that PC’s have contributed over the years. Even if your audio cues are composed by Eno, as many of the windows one’s were, they quickly fade in enjoyment, and as you say become a demonstration of the control you have over your instrument.
One of the elements that has become problematic in the world of Digital is the production of a local monitor feed. You only have to consider the limitations of the Pi’s audio out, which many people see as an obvious headphone source. You can’t just parallel an audio feed to provide a headphone output, and expect it to allow you any of the traditional signal chain structuring that an audio mixer grants you.
You need to have a complete audio routing surface that can provide successful click free sources to provide anything that allows music production further up the chain than the performer.
But I’ve been to concerts of beeps and clicks that seemed the very opposite of a performance, and have watched many a toy turn into tool.
It is unfortunately another one of those appalling occasions that the gods that passeth all understanding provide us with more audio goodness!
