Been pa-rousing the web for the last couple of days and think I have it figured out. From what I have gathered, if you want to have sound and symbol included in your file you would have one directory with three items in it. The first being the Garmin CSV file, the second being the BMP file and the third being the Garmin MP3 audio alert file.
They "all" have to have the same name:
Speed_Trap-USA.csv
Speed_Trap-USA.bmp and
Speed_Trap-USA.mp3
(Download all 3 Garmin files here: http://www.gps-data-team.com/poi/united_states/safety/index.php?poi_data=safety&file=Speed_Trap )
The Garmin's POI loader will link all three Garmin files when it uploads it to your Garmin. Haven't had a chance to test so correct me if wrong.

| The GPX file is the Garmin specific version of the CSV one. You don't need both.

| When using the POIUploader application, it is this that merges the three items (data, image and audio files) together and uploads it to your device. The CSV file is what holds the co-ordinates thus is essential.

If I download the "Updated" POI file "The complete Australian Redlight Camera POI file" do I get the spoken alert message? I can no find the icon you listed below in your link.
Thanks

There is a link to the mp3
have another look for the line, "Garmin MP3 (Audio alert for Garmin POI file)" that will link to the audio file.
