Abstract

Controlling the volume of an audible alert associated with an instant messaging communications session includes rendering, on a first instant messaging user system, an instant messaging application user interface (405) for an instant messaging communications session involving at least a first instant messaging user and a second instant messaging user, receiving notification of an event (410) related to the instant messaging communications session, determining a characteristic of the event (420), accessing an audible alert to be rendered to signal existence of the event (425), adjusting based upon the determined characteristic of the event (430, 445, 460) a volume of the audible alert corresponding to the event (430, 450, 460), and rendering the audible alert to signal existence of the event (440, 455, 465).
