bell_msg 'Bell in window %n ^G'
to your screenrc. The important part here is ^G which tells screen to send the bell character, and %n will be replaced by the number of the window that sent the bell.

To apply it it to a screen session that is already running, do:
^A :bell_msg 'Bell in window %n ^G'

Been looking for easy instructions for something like this. I tried this and it works as expected when you have irssi shown as the window on screen. I set this up to have a sound play as well. So when I get hilighted, I hear a sound, even when putty is minimized. Pretty cool.

However, if you have another window open in screen, other than irssi, then you will only see “Window in bell 0” and no flashing in putty (and therefore no sound). Is this something you can confirm? Is there a way around this other than keeping irssi as the open window in screen?

XTerm*bellIsUrgent: true

in your ~/.Xdefaults file and the taskbar will flash when you receive a bell (should work with most window managers).

CTRL+A G
It will set screen to audible bell.
