Is there a way to make Colab give an Audio Notification when cell has finished running

Question

I am coding Neural Network models and trainings are long to run so I would like to go doing something else then go back as soon as the cell has finished running.

Answer 1

Adding an audio notification when a cell completes is a two-liner. For example,

# Play an audio beep. Any audio URL will do.
from google.colab import output
output.eval_js('new Audio("https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/05/Beep-09.ogg").play()')

Here's an example notebook: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1jrEy5V7FjzAq8Ydg22E1L72xZYsEQWlM

Edit: Colab now includes a setting that will deliver a browser notification when execution completes in the background. You can enable it in the settings like so:
