However, I am looking to have the code take into effect that the sounds should play from just the netutils/contents/resources/sounds folder while also having the code to realize that not all volume names will be the same as my own, for instance some volumes will be called MacHD, as an example.

You don’t mention, but I assume netutils is going to be in the Application folder for every user.
if so, this should work:
——
path to “apps”
——
It returns the path to Applications no matter what is the name of the HD.
