For the "icon.ico" you can use the Icon generator: https://www.icoconverter.com/

For the "alert.wav" you can just use any .wav file from example here: https://pixabay.com/sound-effects/search/wav/

Else: Just make 2 empty .txt files and rename one to icon.ico and one to alert.wav if you don't want to get your own alert and icon files.
