How to add sound at the end of countdown timer?

Sounds are not a part of the Countdown Timers for Keynote because most of the users preferred them without the sound (therefore we have removed them). Nevertheless if you need sounds at the end of countdown you can download the sound files (press here to download sound files) which can be used with the timers.

Sound files are divided into separate files according the length also you can trim them within Keynote QuickTime inspector tab. For example if you choose 15 minutes timer add sound file of 15 minutes. Also you will find different sound effects. The sound will be only when the time is almost up.
