Abstract

An online identity may selectively control perceptibility of incoming sounds associated with electronic messages between online identities (Fig. 4, 400). A first online identity is provided with two or more sound control options to selectively control rendering of one or more sounds associated with electronic messaging to the first online identity from a second online identity, and two or more control sound options to selectively control rendering of one or more sounds associated with electronic messaging to the first online identity from a third online identity (405). The selected sound control options associated with electronic messaging from at least one of the online identities are stored (410) and one or more sounds from at least one of the second online identity or the third online identity are received (415). The perceptibility of sound to the first online identity is selectively controlled in accordance with a selected sound control option from the first online identity (420) .
