There is some parameter in WinCC RT Profesional V16? I already have a script that starts the sound, but I don't know how to start it when a new alarm comes up.

The alarm itself is monitored and indicated in the HMI, but generally it is generated in the PLC code. Your PLC code should then raise the output to the alarm annunciator if any alarm is active / unacknowledged.

This is tag, you can use for triggering a script, which plays a sound. see manual: "SIMATIC STEP 7 Basic/Professional V16 and SIMATIC WinCC V16" "Configuring acknowledgment of the alarm annunciator" https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109773506/59058926347 Regards Georg Berghof
