Sure, but the original post in the thread was about spoken phrase alerts.
As of the fall of 2018, if you live in the US or the UK hands-down the easiest way to do custom phrase alerts is just to get a $40 Amazon echo dot and use the official echo routines (not smartthings routines).
You can make the echo say anything you want it to based on a smartthings event, or play a sound file, anything from a chime to a siren to a lion roaring. It’s not as loud as a smoke alarm, but it’s about as loud as a doorbell. And if you have multiple echo devices, you can choose exactly which ones you want to play the sound. And you can have different sounds for different events. It’s a really nice feature.
