Well good for you.  I have a working system which involves drawing and
writing and it is very useful, because of the way I work, to have automated
saving.  With my drawing application, on first save, it shows me an alert
and beeps, with writing it shows me an alert and does not beep, so it is
sort of half alert.  I cannot stand the machine babbling at me every time
something comes up on the screen, so I do not do "speak alerts". I was
merely asking for an option to have a wee beep to get my attention.
Ironically I write looking down and I draw looking up. I was looking for
logic rather than a work round, unless it is something I can tweak with
ResEdit.
