I don't think event sounds are an option in icewm. I've never heard 
anyone mention it, and I've been using it for a long time on Libranet. 
(It's the default.)

One thing I like is the 'restart' menu option which will go to another 
window manager. Here is part of my ~/.icewm/menu. I like the option of 
switching without logging out. (Xfce4 does not have this option, so it's 
not my default. Most of the others below do, but not kde or gnome, of 
course.)

    restart "GNOME Session" - run-gnome
    restart XFce - startxfce
    restart XFce4 - startxfce4
    restart KDE - kde3
    restart WindowMaker - wmaker
    restart Enlightenment - enlightenment
    restart Fluxbox - fluxbox
    restart Openbox - openbox
    restart Blackbox - blackbox
    restart Afterstep - afterstep
    restart Sawfish - sawfish
    restart FVWM2 - fvwm2
    restart QVWM - qvwm
    restart IceWM - icewm
    restart IceWM-Experimental - icewm-experimental
