OK....what I meant to type was....(after really reading what you wrote)....

Go to .... Notifications as you have....  There is a pull down Event
Source menu....Select Konsole....

Go to "Bell in Non-Visible Session" to copy the name of the file
KDE-Sys-App-Message.ogg in the Play a Sound area.

Then go to "Bell in Visible Session"....paste the name of the sound and
check the "Play a sound" box.  Then Apply....

From now on...if you hit backspace or make some sort of error a beep
will be played.
