I was wondering what was going on in their life that the alert sound from the washer and dryer weren't sufficient for the purpose. My GE dryer sings a happy "laundry's dry" song when it's finished.

You're right though, this way is more fun.

A big house, with a separate room for laundry machine, I guess. Or maybe it's in the basement.

Mine's in my basement and I hear it fine. I'm sure plenty of people on this site have bigger houses than mine though.

Laundry machines are not always positioned where they will be easily heard.

I wear noise cancelling headphones and can’t hear anything.
