Chosen solution

I have solved the problem. First I installed "Simple Download Notifier" which shows a notification at Download Start/Complete/Failed. Then in Cinnamon, I have enabled "Notification Sound" under Sounds in System Settings.

Here are 43 add-ons that you can check-out: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?platform=linux&q=download%20notifier&type=extension

If it was so easy then why would I ask? I already tried that. Among these "43" addons, only 1st three and No. 21 (Notification Sound) are relevant. But they did not serve the purpose. The most I could achieve is to get an audio notification at "Download Complete" by combining "Simple Download Notifier" and "Notification Sound". However, on Download Start or Download Failed, there is no audio notification.

I wish that I could pick people like you out of the crowd. I'd let little Shitbirds like you melt with your problems.
