This book serves as a guide to developing and designing the right sound to enhance a product’s identity, its use, its affordance and its acceptance by consumers. It is of interest to designers, researchers, R&D departments, marketing experts and industries involved in the exploration of the new frontiers now offered by sound. We are all immersed in an intangible world of sounds; however, the fact that only an infinitesimal part of the sound to which we are exposed has been wittingly created is often ignored. An interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary approach encompassing design methods and design engineering, psychology and cognitive ergonomics, acoustics and psychoacoustics contributes to the improvement of product sound development. Providing readers with an overview of design methods in which sound becomes a new requirement, the book investigates the role of sound from the consumer viewpoint, presents several tools and practical examples of sensory design tools and projects, and lastly, introduces a new tool and method developed expressly to support the design of product sound.

This book explores the underlying principles of sound design for linear and interactive media, and specifically how they apply to theatre and radio. The focus of the text is about how to design effective sound so that audiences' experiences are as close as possible to designers' intentions. Sound is omnipresent, it surrounds us and immerses us in the world. As a form of communication sound is fully embedded into our lives, providing information way beyond what we can ever hope to see, touch, smell or taste. Foetal human hearing apparatus is thought to be fully functional early in the third trimester, which is considered a key factor for both cognitive and speech development. As sound is a temporal medium we have to rely on memory to interpret what we hear, these memories have been built up since gestation, and are added to continuously. We have the ability to listen as well as hear, with listening we can choose what to attend to, and filter out to a certain extent, irrelevant content. What sound designers do is guide listeners on this aural journey, through the creation and/or the manipulation of sounds. These sounds can support a narrative, affect emotions or just confirm an action, but if designed properly events can be transformed into experiences, and observers into participants. Sound design is not about adding sounds to every element that might make a sound, there should be an elegance and economy by only using the bare minimum number of sounds to tell the story well. However, if obvious sound sources are omitted then an audience can become distracted, and with special effects films an increased use of designed sounds can help bring the small details to life.There are many different philosophical approaches to design, but the one being advocated here is that of the invisible practitioner, where the audience are completely unaware that any design took place at all. It is as if there was a perfect microphone on top of the camera and it captured everything without any need for postproduction. The designed sound is impossible to differentiate from the object, it belongs, and is perceived as if no third party was involved in its creation. Even when a stylistic approach has been taken, it is a case that that is the way the character is experiencing it, and whilst the sound might be new to us it makes perfect sense to the character, and we are not distracted in any way by the sound design. Nobody should have to think that was great sound, there was no sound, there was just the experience, and the sound was so intricately interwoven that is was impossible to separate it. The listener's interpretation of the sound is of major concern for the designer. It does not matter how a sound was created, all that matters is that the sound affects listeners in the intended manner. This is a very difficult thing to achieve as all listeners are unique. Whilst there are some commonalities, there are just as many, if not more, differences. If a design is not successful listeners will notice it. When a design is successful an audience becomes immersed and the entire experience is improved.

Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Communications - Movies and Television, grade: 1.0, Technical University of Berlin, course: Audiovisuelle Wahrnehmung. Phänomene in der Medienrezeption , language: English, abstract: In the process of filmmaking, sound design is an relatively young creative discipline, compared with applying sound design in theatre. That has perhaps impacted the fact that the responsibilities and duties of the acoustic professionals, who are working as a sound designers on film, are still not precise determinated. Nevertheless the revolution of sound design happened exactly on the film. As a result, the film industry has devoted many of its resources to develop techniques for producing sound effects and ambience sounds that evoke emotional responses and allow the viewer to be immersed.

What is sound design? What function does it have in the early 21st century and what role could it play in the near future? This book explores the current state of functional sound design, its recent history, its characteristic forms of labor and how it is deeply interwoven with everyday life practices. In four parts this book tries to give an answer to the question Why that Sound? with a historical overview on how the magic trick of sound design degraded from providing an incommensurable shock to obeying contemporary ideologies of efficiency; a large visual part with 80 figures documents and questions the current state of Sonic Labor between a sound designer's private workbench, manifold forms of design abuse, and continuous pitching detours; a cultural analysis of Living with Sounds explores how sonic signs are domesticated, how sonic patterns can be decolonized, and what cultural transmission they contribute to leads then to the final part of Sound Works: How is designing sound for the sonic consumers of today situated in a surveillance society between affective labor and silencing dispositives? In what ways can the protagonists of the contemporary sonic workforce transform the situation of sonic labor in the near future? For professional sound designers and sound artists, for design aficionados and passionate listeners, and for researchers in the fields of sound studies, design research and cultural studies this volume provides an essential introduction to sound design as well as a provocative critique of contemporary design practices and soundcultures.

This book bridges the existing gap between film sound and film music studies by bringing together scholars from both disciplines who challenge the constraints of their subject areas by thinking about integrated approaches to the soundtrack. As the boundaries between scoring and sound design in contemporary cinema have become increasingly blurred, both film music and film sound studies have responded by expanding their range of topics and the scope of their analysis beyond those traditionally addressed. The running theme of the book is the disintegration of boundaries, which permeates discussions about industry, labour, technology, aesthetics and audiovisual spectatorship. The collaborative nature of screen media is addressed not only in scholarly chapters but also through interviews with key practitioners that include sound recordists, sound designers, composers, orchestrators and music supervisors who honed their skills on films, TV programmes, video games, commercials and music videos.

Sound Design Theory and Practice is a comprehensive and accessible guide to the concepts which underpin the creative decisions that inform the creation of sound design. A fundamental problem facing anyone wishing to practice, study, teach or research about sound is the lack of a theoretical language to describe the way sound is used and a comprehensive and rigorous overarching framework that describes all forms of sound. With the recent growth of interest in sound studies, there is an urgent need to provide scholarly resources that can be used to inform both the practice and analysis of sound. Using a range of examples from classic and contemporary cinema, television and games this book provides a thorough theoretical foundation for the artistic practice of sound design, which is too frequently seen as a ‘technical’ or secondary part of the production process. Engaging with practices in film, television and other digital media, Sound Design Theory and Practice provides a set of tools for systematic analysis of sound for both practitioners and scholars.
