Spreadsheet - Countdown Timer reference

I have a cell in my spreadsheet that references the Countdown timer column. The formula is a simple one... e.g., =if(aa3<5,1,0) My formula works fine and gives me a "1" when the countdown timer is < 5 seconds remaining....but my associated alert sound never goes off. I have tried all the different settings for the column within my spreadsheet study (i.e., "Alert Only Once Per Bar" yes/no..."Signal On Bar Close" yes/no...etc.). However, no alert sound. I think I remember that the if statement reference has to be in a different format to match the Countdown Timer??....but I tried all the different possible combinations within the statement with no success (i.e., I tried "hh:mm:ss" formats, etc.). How can I get this to work? I did this years ago and made it work, but I sure can not remember what I did....any help is appreciated. Thanks...

Tried formula in columns U V W X Y Z....referenced the Countdown Timer info which is in column AA. Each column does provide a positive result when the Countdown Timer gets to 5 seconds remaining....but no alert sound. I tried different alert sounds and different settings within the spreadsheet study...but no success. As I noted, I was able to get this to work a number of years ago, but I can not remember how...I think? it has to do with the Countdown Timer unique formula format in column AA? But I tried changing the AA column format and that did not help.
