This is not the same as a caption or a transcript, but would be the ability to provide a quick indicator of important sound effects, or even just to let the user know that there is a piece of music looping in the background. Without a way to provide this kind of information, users with hearing impairment could miss vital audio cues, or could inadvertently annoy people nearby because the machine they are using has its speakers blaring a midi loop of "Mary Had A Little Lamb".
