Emergency squawk

Originally posted on a thread on Private Flying, but presumably not frequented by ATCO's so re-posted here!

I've always wondered what happens in ATC when a 75/76/7700 code is squawked. Does it sound an alarm, or highlight the contact on the screen, or simply rely on the controller spotting the relevant codes amongst the myriad squawks on his 'scope?
