When your Pokémon's HP is in the red, the battle music is replaced by a continuous beeping noise. This can be quite annoying. If you want a brief alert that your HP is low, just follow this tutorial.

TODO: Explain changes.
With this short edit, the noise will stop after just four beeps. It plays when your HP first turns red, and when you send out a Pokémon with low HP.
