I have this script I run every hour (see below). It is intended to get the current volume, set the volume to the value appropriate for the time (SetSoundVolume.app), then return volume to the original value.

-- Script

(* playMantelSound - 7/30/04

set mantelSound to (path to documents folder as string) & "clutter:Sounds:mantel" as alias

tell (get volume settings) -- this line is more for a record for future ref.

set {a, b, c, d} to {output volume, input volume, alert volume, output muted}

end tell

--> {50, 50, 100, false}

set currentVolume to a

run script POSIX file "Library/Scripts/Universal Scripts/SetSoundVolume.app" as alias

ignoring application responses

tell application "Play Sound" to play mantelSound

delay 3

end ignoring

-- reset volume to previous value

set soundVolume to currentVolume

set volume output volume (soundVolume)

tell application "Play Sound" to quit

-- end script
