I definitely like this idea and I think depending on the sounds they could be very useful in a wide range of apps. The room noise does need to be filtered out (pretty easy to do), but with a wider selection of sounds I think you've got something here ^^
@titusdecali Hi Titus, thanks for checking it out! Do you have recommendations on how to EQ this?
The sounds have very noticeable audio feedback in them. The 'Deflate - High' sound is also a bit questionable 💩.
@wes_merrill hi Wes! Thank you for checking it out. Some of the sounds are tongue-in-cheek. I agree with the feedback - I wanted an MVP and used my phone to record. I think I will re-record with a blue yeti and master them. Appreciate the feedback!
Hi Product Hunt!
Excited to share this UX sound library. Most UX sounds are synthetic and machine-like, I wondered if I could make high quality sounds myself. It's a trend to have "These people/images/x do not exist," where machines and AI generate everything for you, so I figured why don't we go in the opposite direction and use ourselves to make the most relatable UX sounds.
Would love to know what you think! You can see exactly how all the sounds are made on the site.
Thanks,
Shah
P.S. The beautiful illustrations are from icons8.
@sandochee Wow, that's an honor! I'll even expand and re-record higher quality audio when that happens. Thank you for checking it out.
Audio quality is pretty bad - listening to the previews on the site, you can hear the room ambience behind each of the sounds.
And listening to the sounds themselves, when they say "human sounds", they literally mean sounds made by humans. Mouth noises and such. It's all very unappealing.
@tkware Hi Mikey! I appreciate you checking it out. I agree with the quality - I’ll likely re record with a real microphone and master it.
@shah_med This is great, I'm thinking about implementing some of these into my ios app ;) https://www.producthunt.com/post...
I like the concept behind it but I have to agree with a previous comment on whether human made sounds are the solution.
@alexaseol Thanks for checking it out, Alexa! Let me know if you have ideas of what else we can try, I'd love to continue experimenting.
@shah_med I also think we don't have many examples of when to use audio clips. Showing and teaching the different ways each audio clip could be used would be very helpful as well!
@ianwijma Hey Ian! thanks for checking it out - can i ask what device you're using to listen to the sounds?
