New System Sounds

[jglove42]

I’ve heard a lot about the boot chime being back, which I could care less about, but haven’t heard anything about the “new suite of system sounds” mentioned from the Big Sur announcement. Anyone with running the bets notice these new sounds they talked about? The very first new system sound I during the keynote, the one with the red circle notification, got me excited for this. I guess I’m a sound nerd.

Yes. All system sounds have been revamped. They’re mostly pleasant.

I mostly like the sounds, but the trash can is bothering me. It makes me think of someone getting punched.

More like a wet fart.

For those interested - a comparison of new and original sounds.

A bit polarising, some are good and some less so.

Interesting choices, I still like Purr though.

It'd be nice to have a comparison video that isn't 24 minutes long with an obnoxious guy narrating it.
