Sound design for

Mobility

What does the mobility of the future sound like? How do feedback, warning and alarm signals (UI / UX sounds) sound in the cockpit and which information and emotions should be transported through the sounds? Sounds like an electric motor like a combustion or a hybrid engine – keyword AVAS (Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Systems). What role do auditory stimuli play in autonomous driving and how important will they be in present and future mobility concepts like e bikes, e scooter or air taxis?

Aviation

Our range of services includes consulting, conception, sound prototyping and the final UI / UX sound design for all areas from connectivity applications (microinteraction sounds) to interior sounds (earcons, notifications or warnings) to drive sounds for EVs (electric vehicles, AVAS). Especially in the field of autonomous driving level 3 & 4 we are currently dealing with the topics Voice-UX-Design (VUI / VUX) as well as Data-Sonification and Adaptive UI / UX-Sounds.

Projects

In close cooperation with the Munich UIUX team, we co-created the UX Sound Concept for NIO and its ES8 vehicle.

Our Creative Process

01

Audit

Brand values, supply, markets, benchmarks and competition are analysed observing auditive aspects.

02

Orientation

Acoustic parameters of the future brand sound and UX sound are defined in a workshop.

03

Creation

Creation of different layouts are based on the results of the workshop. Collective selection of the sound.

04

Production

Arrangement of the brand and UX sound elements for the defined fields of application.

05

Implementation

Guidance with the integration into the current media or product. Creation of the guidelines.
