Chances are those once frightening or suspenseful scenes will seem silly at best. We anticipate the danger after we hear squeaky doors slamming in a movie, making an automatic association with creepy sounds. Sound imparts atmosphere. And its influence can be everything from the only redeemable quality in a movie to a subtle background enhancement. This goes for Web sites as well.
Sound imparts a whole new level, and a whole different atmosphere.
When you type, you hear the clicking of each key as you press down on it. When you hit a button in the elevator, you also hear a clicking noise. Every time you turn your computer on, you hear a welcome sound. Sounds let us know that something happened . With web sites, sounds can let readers know that they clicked on a link, or that they came to the right page.
