Good user experience is achieved thanks to all factors that make it up, not just one. Sound is often the most overlooked aspect, but that’s its job. When there is a well-implemented sound design, the user doesn’t notice it but still feels the effect. In contrast, when it ruins your immersion, the whole image of a product can crumble.
Google seems to have taken this into account with the new alarm, notification, and ringtone sounds coming with the third beta of Android 12. They have been added to the Sounds app and will most likely be adopted as the defaults for the upcoming Pixel phones.
