Battery Indicator lets you quickly glance the remaining battery time or percentage right in your menu bar.

macOS hides menu bar apps when there is no space left in the menu bar. This is a common problem on MacBooks with a notch. Try quitting some other menu bar apps to free up space. If this does not solve it, try quitting Bartender if you have it installed.
You may also have enabled the “Hide while on power” preference, which hides the menu bar icon while the power adapter is connected. Launch the app again to reveal the menu bar item for 5 seconds or disconnect the power adapter.
This is a macOS 11 bug. I have tried to work around this issue, but it's out of my control.
The system needs some time to accurately calculate the time remaining estimate.
Drag it out of the menu bar while pressing Command.
It can unfortunately not show this because of restrictions (sandboxing) imposed on apps on the App Store. However, you could change the menu bar item type to text instead of the icon and use this app in combination with the system battery indicator.
This is a perfect use case for the built-in Shortcuts app. You can use the Play Sound
action to play the sound you want. To run the shortcut when the battery is at a certain percentage, you need the Shortery app. Use its “Power Status” trigger.
(The Shortery app is only a temporary requirement. It's likely that Apple will introduce automation for Shortcuts in macOS 15.)

Go here and click “Version History”.
I don't have any immediate plans to localize the app.
These are free for everyone but they will not run on newer macOS versions.
