How Sound Design Affects Customer Response And Action
If you've spent a small fortune on graphic designers, search engine optimizers, social networking experts and still find that your website conversions are low, then perhaps your website suffers from the marketing equivalent of Capgras Delusion, a failure to make a connection between your online content and your emotional value proposition.
You're Not My Wife
A woman phones her husband who's in the hospital after suffering a head injury. The man recognizes his wife's voice when she tells him she'll see him in an hour. An hour later she arrives at the hospital, enters the room, and attempts to kiss him on the forehead. The man looks up at his wife startled, and says, "Who the hell are you?"
The man recognizes the woman in front of him as someone who looks like his wife, but he is completely convinced that she is an imposter even though he recognized his wife's voice over the phone only an hour earlier. This is a classic case of Capgras Delusion. The part of the brain responsible for visual recognition is functioning fine, but the part that makes the connection between his wife's appearance and what she means to him emotionally has been severed.
Without An Emotional Connection Marketing Appears Fake
The brain is made-up of various systems that operate both separately and in unison with each other. The brain's interpretive emotional mechanism, the Limbic System, is what gives meaning to the objects, images, sounds and people we encounter. Without this emotional connection things have no meaning and in fact can be regarded as fake.
Observations of Capgras Delusional patients illustrate how fundamental the sense of sound is in giving meaning to the world around us. Sound, it appears, is even a more important sense than sight in terms of attaching meaning to what we experience, a fact website owners and marketing executives need to consider when developing a Web video presentation or in any brand imaging effort.
Sound: The Final Frontier
Sound is fundamental to our survival as a species and our functioning as successful communal creatures both in our private and business lives. Sound is one of the most complex and least understood tools marketing people have, but at the same time it is probably the most important, especially when associated with video imaging.
Julian Treasure, sound expert, tells us that sound affects an audience in four fundamental ways: Physiologically, Psychologically, Cognitively and Behaviorally.
Sounds paint emotionally charged mental images even without the aid of visual stimuli. The sound of a crackling fire, coffee percolating, a baby crying, or a woman screaming evokes vivid images and associations in our heads and fills us with emotional responses. The sound of thunder sends us scrambling for cover. The rhythmic beat of a favorite song gets our toes tapping and our heads bopping. The sound of a catchy fast food jingle gets our mouths watering, creating an instant craving for a hamburger and fries. The rhythmic recital of the alphabet helps children remember their ABC's. And so on.
Sound can get your heart racing with excitement or slow it down to a state of mellow meditation. Sound can remind you of things you love, releasing endorphins and a desire to pursue the object of attraction. Sound can inform, enlighten and educate. Use sound wisely in your Web video or in your place of business, and it will communicate, influence and persuade; use it poorly and it will send your potential customers racing for the exits or clicking to your competitor's website without a second's hesitation.
Sound Tools
We associate sound with entertainment but for marketers it is a tool to be used to convert prospects into clients. When someone comes to your website they are for at least a moment, a captive, attentive audience. If your goal is to maximize impact you must use all the tools available, and that means both sight and sound.
Voice
The sound of the human voice is the most powerful sound tool marketers have at their disposal. The ability to control tonal quality, pitch, cadence and phrasing is unsurpassed as a means of delivering a meaningful, memorable marketing communication. Sound is the foundation of experience and nothing is as capable of infinite variation, nuance and meaning as the human voice.
If you pay attention to television commercials you will recognize many signature voices associated with brands: Gene Hackman, Kevin Spacey, Sam Elliot, Keifer Sutherland, John O'Hurley, and the list goes on. Those old enough to remember the original 7-Up Uncola commercials of the 1970s will remember the distinctive sound of Geoffrey Holder, or the unique clipped phrasing and cadence of Rod Serling's late 1950's 'Twilight Zone' introductions. Would people still remember classic television shows like the original 'The Prisoner' or 'Dragnet' without the sounds of Patrick McGoohan and Jack Webb ringing in their ears? Remakes and sequels just don't work without the power, presence and impact of those original distinctive voices.
Music
Music has always been a central and significant part of people's lives. You need think no further than the notion of "our song" a musical representation of how two people feel about each other. Every generation has their sound, their musical heroes, and a play-list of their lives. The smart brands know how to use music to create emotional context and memorable experiences. There is no reason smaller companies can't do the same thing.
In an effort to promote radio advertising Bob McCurdy created a website presentation 'The Power of Sound' to introduce people to some of the fundamental influences of sound in a commercial context. In his presentation McCurdy mentions numerous examples including an article by Adrian C. North, David J. Hargreaves and Jennifer McKendrick that was featured in the 'Journal of Applied Psychology.' The example describes how sound can influence prospective customers: when French and German music was played on alternate days for an in-store wine display, sales of French wines outsold German wines on the days that French music was played, and the reverse was true on days when the German music was played.
In another example McCurdy refers to an article by Adrian C. North, Amber Shilcock and David J Hargreaves as reported in 'Environment and Behavior.' It details how classical music played in a British restaurant led to higher per table spending by customers as compared to the days when pop or no music was played.
Rhythm
No truer words have been spoken, or in this case sung, than when Gloria Estefan sings 'The Rhythm Is Going To Get You." Watching the crowd in one of her concert videos illustrates how an audience moves in synchronized response to rhythm in a form of brainwave entrainment, a phenomenon that describes the brain's ability to synchronize it's own electrical cycles to external rhythmic sensory stimulation.
Entrainment is a natural occurrence in nature and was first discovered in 1656 by Christian Huygens, who found that the pendulums in a room full of grandfather clocks all synchronize themselves to the same rhythm even when they initially all started swinging at different rates. In his paper "On the Effects of Lullabies," Johannes Kneutgen describes how a baby's breathing, rhythmically responds to music. Since brain waves pulsate like sound waves in cycles per second it is easy to see how the phenomenon of entrainment can have a fundamental affect on how we think and react to rhythmic stimulation.
Context
In Bob McCurdy's presentation 'The Power of Sound' he describes how in the 1970s, IBM worked to eliminate the sound of their new electric typewriters in an attempt to provide a better work environment, but the effort had a negative effect. IBM had to add back an electronic sound to the typewriters as typists found the silence disconcerting. The rhythmic sound gave the operators assurance that they were on-task and accomplishing something and that the typewriters were working properly.
A Nissan team of engineers led by music consultant, Toshiyuki Tabata, had to create an artificial high-pitched sound similar to the flying cars in the movie "Blade Runner" for their new hybrids, as drivers felt the silent running hybrids were missing something. And in fact the silent automobile was a potential traffic hazard as other vehicles and pedestrians could not hear it coming. In the same regard when the Las Vegas casino, The Bellagio, tried to eliminate the irritating sound made by slot machines, slot machine revenue decreased, forcing them to put the familiar sound effects back on the machines.
We are surrounded by sounds that give us reference, warning and comfort, without which we would lose much of the contextual information we need to function effectively on a daily basis. Big business uses sound design to create differentiating mental references for their products and brands ranging from the signature sound of how different car doors shut, to the unique crunch sounds of various breakfast cereals.
Sound Effects
McCurdy cites Herb Shuldiner's report in 'Motor Matters' regarding British psychologist, David Moxon, who found the sound of a Maserati engine turned-on women more than men, even if those women had no previous interest in cars. An observation that must not have escaped Mazda when they created their "zoom, zoom" campaign. Perhaps any guy who wants to dump the suburban van for something with a bit more zip should take his wife to a Maserati dealership.
People react to sound instinctively, a phenomenon referred to as an 'orienting reflex' first described by Ivan Sechenov, a Russian physiologist, in his 1863 book 'Reflexes of the Brain' and later referred to by Ivan Pavlov, famous for his stimulus-response work with dogs, as the "What is it?" reflex.
Sound effects are the mnemonics of our lives; they attract attention, they generate interest, they stimulate emotion, and they create desire.
Conclusion
The power of sound is an essential tool in a marketer's effort to communicate, influence and persuade an audience, and isn't that what your website is suppose to do?

The Sound of One Hand Clapping $3.94 A sweeping novel of world war, migration, and the search for new beginnings in a new land, The Sound of One Hand Clapping was both critically acclaimed and a best-seller in Australia. It is a virtuoso performance from an Australian who is emerging as one of our most talented new storytellers. It was 1954, in a construction camp for a hydroelectric dam in the remote Tasmanian highlands, where Bojan Buloh had brought his family to start a new life away from Slovenia, the privations of war, and refugee settlements. One night, Bojan's wife walked off into a blizzard, never to return -- leaving Bojan to drink too much to quiet his ghosts, and to care for his theer-year-old daughter Sonja alone. Thirty-five years later, Sonja returns to Tasmania and a father haunted by memories of the European war and other, more recent horrors. As the shadows of the past begin to intrude ever more forcefully into the present, Sonja's empty life and her father's living death are to change forever. The Sound of One Hand Clapping is about the barbarism of an old world left behind, about the harshness of a new country, and the destiny of those in a land beyond hope who seek to redeem themselves through love. |

The Sound of Poetry/The Poetry of Sound $31.19 Sound--one of the central elements of poetry--finds itself all but ignored in the current discourse on lyric forms. The essays collected here by Marjorie Perloff and Craig Dworkin" "break that critical silence to readdress some of the fundamental connections between poetry and sound--connections that go far beyond traditional metrical studies. Ranging from medieval Latin lyrics to a cyborg opera, sixteenth-century France to twentieth-century Brazil, romantic ballads to the contemporary "avant-garde," the contributors to "The Sound of Poetry/The Poetry of Sound" explore such subjects as the translatability of lyric sound, the historical and cultural roles of rhyme, the role of sound repetition in novelistic prose, the connections between "sound poetry" and music, between the visual and the auditory, the role of the body in performance, and the impact of recording technologies on the lyric voice. Along the way, the essays take on the "ensemble discords" of Maurice Sceve's "Delie, " Ezra Pound's use of "Chinese whispers," the alchemical theology of Hugo Ball's Dada performances, Jean Cocteau's modernist radiophonics, and an intercultural account of the poetry reading as a kind of dubbing. A genuinely comparatist study, "The Sound of Poetry/The Poetry of Sound "is designed to challenge current preconceptions about what Susan Howe has called "articulations of sound forms in time" as they have transformed the expanded poetic field of the twenty-first century. |

The Sound of One Horse Dancing $13.87 Twenty-seven-year-old Tim Halladay is a rising star in the three-martini lunch world of Madison Avenue in the early 1970s. In only five years, Tim has become a vice-president at the first ad agency he interviewed with, in charge of some of the most prestigious accounts listed in Advertising Age. But a week before Thanksgiving, his life takes a serious hit. After a hard-drinking, sex-filled night, Tim, the "golden boy," arrives late to work. He suddenly finds himself fired without explanation. With three hundred dollars in his savings account, Tim wonders how he'll even pay the rent. As Tim comes to terms with his unemployment, he reminisces about his life and the circumstances that have brought him to this crucial crossroads. Everything in his life-his emotionally unstable upbringing, his service in the army during the troubled years of the Vietnam War, his affair with a high school girlfriend, his experiences at William and Mary during the JFK and LBJ years, his relocation to Manhattan in the 1970s, his first job in the world of advertising, and his adventures as a closeted gay man in the Stonewall Era Greenwich Village-contributed to both the downfall and redemption of Tim Halladay. |

Sound Operator $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The sound operator (also commonly called production audio engineer, audio engineer, sound board operator, sound technician, sound mixer or A1) is the person responsible for the overall and total execution of all soundrelated aspects of a theatrical performance. This job may include operating a mixing console and sound reinforcement system, as well as coordinating sound effects and mixing microphones. The sound operator reports to the sound designer, stage manager, and technical director. The specific duties of the position vary from one production to another, but a sound board operator is generally required to know how to use the various playback media (decks) that prerecorded sound cues will play from, the sound console that controls the levels and individual channel EQ settings, as well as other soundrelated devices, such as graphic equalizers, and various other effects processors. More often than in the case of other theatrical designers, a sound designer may be expected to serve the function of board operator.

Sound Hole $60.54 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A sound hole is an opening in the upper sound board of a stringed musical instrument. The sound holes can have different shapes: round in flattop guitars, Fholes in instruments from the violin or viol families and in archedtop guitars, rosettes in lutes. Bowed Lyras have Dholes and Mandolins may have round or oval holes. A round or oval hole is usually a single one, under the strings. Fholes and Dholes are usually made in pairs placed symmetrically on both sides of the strings. Some electric guitars, such as Fender Telecaster Thinline have a sound hole. Though the purpose of sound holes is to help acoustic instruments project their sound more efficiently, the sound does not emanate solely (nor even mostly) from the location of the sound hole. The majority of sound emanates from the surface area of both sounding boards, with sound holes playing a part by allowing the sounding boards to vibrate more freely, and by allowing some of the vibrations which have been set in motion inside the instrument to travel outside the instrument.

Sound Heath $60.54 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Sound Heath, also known as Sound Common, is an area of common land in Sound, near Nantwich in Cheshire, England, which includes heathland, grassland, scrub, woodland and wetland habitats. The majority of the area is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Local Nature Reserve. One of the very few lowland heaths in Cheshire, Sound Heath is a valuable habitat for heathland plants and animals, although its heathland character is currently under threat from the spread of trees and scrub. The commons ponds form one of the most important sites in the county for freshwater invertebrates. Three nationally rare or endangered species have been found within the area: the mud snail, great raft spider and the Enochrus isotae species of water scavenger beetle, as well as the nationally scarce beautiful snout moth. The first sightings of the migrant hawker dragonfly and scorched carpet moth in Cheshire were at Sound Heath, and many other locally rare species have been recorded here. The site is also an important breeding site for birds. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.
