12. AUDIO UI
- The Communicator SDK provides a ready-made sound set and tones that can be used for various UI events, if the
developer does not want to create UI sounds on his/her own.
- Audio feedback is a useful aid when the user is busy or visually restricted. Sometimes the use of sounds is also an
effective way to point out an important or hazardous event.
- Allow the user to modify the sound settings; some users have different needs for loud, discrete and silent sound
options. Some users might prefer a subset of sounds or might want to turn some sounds off.
- The user must be able interrupt alert tones.
- Do not exaggerate the use of sounds; Designing a high-quality sound set is an art form but it is rather easy to
create 'audio pollution.'
