Build expressive interface sounds

Build expressive interface sounds

Create clicks, confirmations and alerts that belong to the same system.

RELAYER envelopes with volume and pitch controls for all four layers

Choose a shared palette

Use related source recordings across a group of interface sounds. A click can provide definition, a tonal layer can suggest intent and a textured layer can add character.

Make small changes count

Keep variation ranges restrained for frequently repeated interactions. Change pitch, timing or layer balance more deliberately when distinguishing a confirmation from a warning.

Listen in context

Audition sounds at their intended playback level alongside music and dialogue. Export several options so you can test the interaction rhythm in the actual interface.
