Can we make alarm sound as soon as some price touch my designated price?

Dear-

Given personal watch list of 500 stocks, similar to SnP 500.

Placing order (delivering to IB server with API use) for a specific equity is NOT in discussion here.

First I hope to hear a sound from local PC speaker, such as "MSFT touch your 1st level of alarm" as soon as MSFT hits $51.
Of course, price for first and second alarm is changing every day morning, given by programming and hours' computing yesterday night.

For example, we prepare a csv matrix last night, such as

MSFT 51.0 first
MSFT 49.0 second
......

With personal watch list of 500 equities, the above matrix has dimension of 1000 rows and 3 columns.

Is it possible?
If so, tell me data feed provider and some language(s) recommended, such and R or python if possible.
Any other help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

-Jay

Suppose I have 500 watch list.
I already prepared a matrix (csv file) with 1000 rows and 3 columns, generated by my program with > 1000 lines, yesterday night.

May send the matrix to IB TWS server, in one time?

Please do not tell me that I need to type 1000 times (symbol+price+share).

PS) Of course, final goal is delivering BUY order with specified price like 49.2, as soon as MSFT hits 51.0 (instead of alarming)
 
That's creative really, a talking program. All my automated trading just output plain text. How cool would it be if it can talk with real voice, maybe an plain voice when level 1 is triggered, and a shrieking voice when level 2 is hit. While I am at it, why not add an avatar with facial expression and animation when actual trade is executed. I don't have the time to do that. But I am just saying, how cool would it be to personify automated trading.

If possible, we need to find sounding function in R/Python, to alarm such as "You have trigger 1 in MSFT" loudly.

There are some free recording programs, to generate sound file like wmv. But here direct sounding by R/Python, I mean.

I have experience to open extra window by R, for me to read "trigger 1 in MSFT". However, this is NO good.
 
If someone make this program on the web, I can pay for it monthly.

I prepare csv file with 1000 by 3 early morning, then the company makes sound from 9 to 4 in my PC speaker.

Furthermore, if it is done, then it will NOT be technically difficult to send signal to my cell phone, while I am away from my PC.
