Which chat add-on do you run?Make a new chat tab for whispers only and It should light up the title of the tab when you have unread whispers. (though that may be an addon feature too, I dunno because I don't turn my chat addon off.)
Ruze is a veteran of the PC Beta, lived through the year one drought, survived the buy-to-play conversion, and has stepped foot in the hells known as Craglorn. He mained a nightlbade when nightblades weren't good, and has never worn a robe. He converted from PC during the console betas, and hasn't regretted it a moment since.
He'd rank ESO:TU (in it's current state) a 4.8 out of 5, loving the game almost entirely.

Last night someone begged me for help in a quest. I would have been happy to help--too bad I didn't see the request until 10 minutes later. So he was left thinking I ignored him on purpose.
That's not any way to run an MMO, guys.
Also a "reply to latest whisper" key. Clicking is so awkward, fist Alt to cursor mode, then mouse click to reply then type. When they have fixed most of the bugs and balance issues i will write a list as to how to improve the UI. It is very awkward to use now.

I'm thinking a "tell" chime is not optional, but always enabled for everyone, in other games, but I could be wrong there. Usually it's controlled I think by the general "UI sounds" category of audio settings. Maybe.

You could take this idea even further and introduce a range of compulsory noise alerts for all types of event. The possibilities are endless, you should start a poll for suggestions.

Um--no. In other games this, and this alone, is compulsory, and it's exceedingly silly to make any argument that adding it would somehow open the door to others, when past history with other games shows no such phenomenon.
(That said... the compulsory sound I have set up in my web browser to alert me to "lame attempts at sarcasm" made a sound like a cuckoo clock when I read your post!)
