The toggle animation combined with the click at the beginning of the audio is wonderful. Anybody know any non-game UIs with great sound like that? They're pretty rare but it could be cool if they come back in really subtle ways. Off the top of my head I think of iPod scroll wheel, iOS keyboard, and Facebook message alert sound. The first 2 are extremely subtle and well done, alert sounds are kind of just a necessary evil.
- dmix 11y agoIf you're into this type of UI perfectionism, I recently read a book on the subject called 'Microinteractions' which I highly recommend: http://www.amazon.com/Microinteractions-Full-Color-Designing-Details/dp/1491945923/ http://www.amazon.com/Microinteractions-Full-Color-Designing... They give examples of designers using sound to enhance interactions. For example, slot machine designers make sure there are sounds every time the user interacts with the machine. The sounds and music also get louder and louder as the game goes on - to heighten the excitement and get the person addicted to that rush. One of the reasons why slot machines bring in more money than the movie or video game industries. Website designers should definitely utilize this more often!
