How to setup sound alert notification when simulation is complete?

I need to do something else while waiting for a long simulation to complete instead of sitting there watching the simulation to complete the whole 'Evaluate Notebook' process.

Thank You

I'd do something like this.

Pause[5]; Speak["Done Pausing for 5 Seconds"]

I'd be inclined to use something like this:

Monitor[ Do[Pause[0.2], {i, 50}], If[Mod[i, 10] == 0, Speak[ToString[2 i] <> " percent done"]]; i ]
