Sound Design and Sound Optimization

Designing the perfect sound

A well-designed product sound that meets our expectations in a specific context leads to a positive user experience: The precise click of a switch; the futuristic sound of an electric car; the powerful whirring noise of a coffee grinder. The sound a product makes when it’s in operation can give us crucial feedback about its condition and functioning. It also affects – even subconsciously – how users perceive the product.

How can I describe sound quality?

Preserve desirable sound components, eliminate undesirable sound components, enrich with new sound components: A user-centric approach involving measurement, analysis and evaluation is crucial for effective sound design. This approach can help to answer questions like the following:

How can I determine and describe individual sound perception?
What are the relevant sound components?
Where are the sources and transmission paths?
