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.'
