Announce special sounds even when not in the game's window?

Or they are running a 1x or low TC patrol.

Have you tried playing in windowed mode, you can then drop the game to the taskbar (or minimizing it by mouse to be very small) this way the game will be still running (unless Ubi failed and made it auto-pause) and you'll hear all the alarms and everything, so when that happens just maximize it, or increase it's size and check if everything is alright.

I am running with Multiple Monitors (3: 1 27" WS center and 1 18" on each side. All Flat Panel LCD). I run the game in Windowed Mod and drag the game to one of the side monitors when I need to do other things. That way I can still see what is happening in game, watch TV and still get things done.
