“…In those contexts, the quality of sound becomes essential in eliciting the appropriate user response, as it is closely linked to the criticality of the occurring events. Obviously, a warning from a mobile phone about its battery level is not as relevant as a warning from a medical monitoring system informing of a low heart rate (Shneiderman, 2010), so a classification and/or hierarchy of different needs of communication also can be considered (Sousa et al, 2017).…”

“…Thus, when designing product sounds, one should take into account the role of previous users’ experience, the environment of use, and the cultural context, among other factors. For example, an alarm sound should be loud enough to be audible in a possibly noisy environment, but in the context of an intensive care unit, sound quality becomes very important in eliciting the appropriate user response and is linked to the criticality of the occurring events (Sousa et al, 2017).…”

Product sound design is a current topic in the field of product design. It proposes the study and application of sound as one of the essential configurable parameters in the product design process, given its potential to communicate relevant and complex information to the user. In this article, we describe some of the basic principles of this discipline based on different examples and reflect on the importance of implementing specific design methodologies available for product design teams. Finally, we propose possible lines of work that can contribute to new knowledge and facilitate access to future work in this field.

“…In (Marshall, Lee & Austria, 2007), different hearing scenarii are proposed to study two objectives, annoyance and urgency, with a fixed design of experiments. In addition to the perceived urgency, other dimensions such as the criticality level or the severity level of alarms can be studied (Sousa et al, 2016), so as the influence of ambient noise conditions (Singer et al, 2015).…”

“…In this paper, we use the sound design label to signify this latter area of intervention. In this context, sounds typically take the shape of notifications and alerts or continuous sonifications for peripheral to focal monitoring [18,25,32,37]. Hence, sound design represents a rich, multidisciplinary area of expertise in which diverse knowledge converge, including psychoacoustics, engineering, computer science, psychology and interaction design [23].…”

Sound-driven design is an emerging, human-centered design practice informed by technology and listening in the multisensory dimension of interaction. In this paper we present a discourse analysis approach aimed at qualitatively understanding the constituent concepts of such a practice, by means of semi-structured interviews with sound designers, design researchers, engineers and expert users in the context of critical care. Preliminary results show that sound-driven design is inherently embodied, situated, and participatory, that the four categories of interviewees equally contribute to the definition of the design problem, and yet that a clear, shared arena is still missing. CCS CONCEPTS• Human-centered computing → Interaction design theory, concepts and paradigms; Participatory design; • General and reference → Surveys and overviews.
