Mobile - Tones

Problem

Nonverbal auditory tones must be used to provide feedback or alert users to conditions or events, but must not become confusing, lost in the background, or so frequent that critical alerts are disregarded.

Solution

Tones should be used for alerting, and as a channel to emphasize successful input, such as on-screen and hardware button presses, scrolls and other interactions.
