Nov 4, 2019 at 20:36 comment added Avrohom Yisroel Small anecdote: I once worked in an open-plan office with about 60 Unix workstations. We hacked the bash (think command line) initialisation script to play a either an explosion or a frog croaking. With 60 workstations, where people used bash a lot, it sounded like World War III in a rainforest! Whilst it amused the small-minded amongst us, it annoyed the &*%^ out of most people

Sep 27, 2016 at 7:56 comment added Pking My intention is add auditory cues to enhance the experience, if that means all interaction, certain actions or none at all is up for discussion.

Sep 26, 2016 at 22:53 comment added Nicholas Pappas Your question and your comments below are actually addressing two very different things. Auditory queues for every user interaction with a mouse cursor, versus auditory queues for some system confirmation feedback. These are very different. Which is the intention here?
Sep 26, 2016 at 20:59 comment added Nicholas Pappas Buttons with auditory feedback for adding drama already exist. They come with helpful assistance too.
Sep 26, 2016 at 20:35 comment added MonkeyZeus I say go for it! As long as you build in the option to turn it off.
