[Accessibility]: Consider replacing audioCues.lineHasInlineSuggestion with less distruptive lower-pitch sound

[jooyoungseo]

CC @isidorn @meganrogge @AFre100 @hediet

I have turned on audioCues.lineHasInlineSuggestion for copilot all day long, and have found the audio cue too distruptive and felt very tired to hear the high pitch alert sound when played frequently. Just imagine that you hear the current high-pitch inline suggestion audio cues 100 times while coding.

I still feel like the audio signal instrumental, but could you please consider implementing less distruptive (e.g., clicking) sound? The new diff inserted audio cue is a good example.

@AFre100 can you send me a better sound? Should be simple to switch them

@jooyoungseo @meganrogge bingo — we were just planning this. Yes — on it! Will start this and send you an ETA.

@jooyoungseo Just to clarify, the title calls out a "less distruptive lower-itch sound" while the description calls out "high pitch alert sound." Can you talk a bit about that?

The current sound is a fairly full-spectrum (so BOTH low and high) sound for ui sounds at least. It's also pretty dense/complex and causes some small speakers to distort at certain volumes. Is that the disruption do you think -- that's it's so full spectrum-y/loud and proud? (Alternatively, a more click-y sound will most certainly have lots of high freqs -- it will feel more light though, than a dense sound, esp if it's a slightly lower volume.

I have plenty of ideas surrounding a new sound , and there will be an improvement either way, but just want to confirm that I'm not missing something important regarding your initial issues with it.

Thanks!
