Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:
- Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
- Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
- Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
- Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
- Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
- Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.
Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.
By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

To my knowledge, there is not a way to do this with the sound.cfg.
The only method that I am certain will work is to download Doug Dawson's XML sound gauge, learn how to implement it and define some variables in a custom gauge that will trigger the sound. If I recall, you can use the gauge to control volume based on a variable (such as airspeed).

Instructions are included with the download zip in a doc file. I suggest you take some time to learn some basic XML first, if you don't have any requisite knowledge of it.
fs2x.com has a great tutorials section to get you started. It also includes a complete list of almost all the variables available in flight sim and prepar3d. Additional variables native only to FSX and beyond are available in their respective SDKs. All the variables you need to make this gauge should be on fs2x.
In short, you'll have to define some custom variables (known is FS XML as L bars because of their format of (L:variable name, unit)). These variables will be used to control the sound gauge supplied by Doug Dawson, instructions for how to do that are included in the download.
You'll write a 1 (true) to the L variable you define when the conditions you want to trigger the sound are true. These conditions are read from the flight sim in the form of read-only variables called A variables ex. (A:AIRSPEED INDICATED, knots) would be used to call the current KIAS in knots. Once that's done, you must write the line that is instructing the sound gauge to play the sound. Make sure that all of these gauges are in the main Gauges folder and are listed in the panel.cfg properly.
Learning proper XML formatting can be a challenge and I don't mind to provide further assistance but I urge you to do some more reading and attempt to make a very basic gauge first before attempting a sound gauge if you have no experience.
