Spinning Wheel Stop Sound Notification

I use CAD software a lot and there are times when a large file is saving that the computer takes a while to process so I get the “spinning wheel of death”. I have ADHD so this distracts me and makes me go to another tasks, without any way of being notified when the spinning wheel has stopped. Do you know of a way to play a sound to notify me when the wheel stops spinning so I know when to come back and continue my work?

Thanks @Randall_2023. Unfortunatley the way I work in Sketchup produces larger files that I've learned to deal with. And I don't have any other apps running when doing CAD work. The time to save has cut in half with the new M2 Chip but it's still a drag. Hoping to find some accessibility setting of some sort that can notify me and keep me on task.
