I can't write out my entire task system right now, but I thought I'd throw in that I use Note Reminders to track large Projects versus Tasks. For example, each year we have to organize a graduation ceremony, which is pretty involved. I have a note with the usual tasks, notes, and links to sub-notes. I need to start planning the ceremony about four months out, so I set a reminder date four months out. When it pops up, I assign dates and people to all the tasks that need doing.
I could instead dedicate a task to "Organize graduation ceremony" with the four month reminder, but I find it very useful to have a list of major projects coming up, which clicking on the Reminders tab gives me. I also like to be able to periodically review each of my active "Projects" to ensure they are making adequate progress and to alter tasks and task dates if need be and to be able to quickly report out where everything stands.
Its not apart from the Windows/Mac default system reminders. I think those can make a sound. Not sure about Android as everything on my phone is silent.

Thanks for sharing. Nice to see folks still using the reminder.
Question - is it possible to get audible (sound) notifications for Tasks, as well can with Note Reminders?
Thank you!
