Designing and evaluating a product’s sound during the conceptual phase is both more effective and efficient. Many products produce sounds that are intentional (such as the ring of a phone) and as artifacts (such as the motor noise of a vacuum cleaner).

A preliminary analysis suggests that an inexperienced sound designer can successfully sketch a sound with the appropriate adjectives.
