USE=sound-notification is nice and descriptive, but it feels a bit
awkward being so long. Looking at some of the descriptions for the
"libcanberra" flag on p.g.o, the most popular one seems to be:

    Enable sound event support using media-libs/libcanberra

Perhaps USE=sound-events? It's a bit shorter but just as descriptive.

Maybe something like USE=keybind?

These names are also nice and implementation-agnostic :)
