What is sonic branding? Simply put, it's the strategic use of sound to create a recognizable, consistent, and emotionally resonant brand identity. Think of iconic jingles or the distinct startup sound of your favorite tech. That's sonic branding in action.

✅ 3. Tuning Up Your Website: Essential Audio Advice for Every Client
Whether you're ready for a full sonic branding suite or just looking to enhance your current website with audio, thoughtful implementation is key. Here’s Supadark’s expert advice for creating effective website audio experiences:
Define Your Audio's Purpose:
Why add sound? Is it for feedback (UI cues), mood-setting (background music), information (narration), or brand reinforcement (sound logo)? Clarity here is crucial.
Prioritize Quality & Relevance:
Choose the Right Codec: Balance quality, file size, and compatibility. We often recommend a combination of Opus (for modern browsers), AAC (excellent quality/size), and MP3 (as a fallback).
License Properly: Always use audio you have the rights to. Options include Royalty-Free Music (one-time fee), carefully selected Creative Commons tracks (check terms!), Public Domain works, or Custom-Commissioned audio (our specialty!).
Subtlety is Key – Especially for Background Audio:
Use Sound Sparingly: Don't overwhelm users. Audio should enhance, not annoy.
Match Sounds with Visual Brand: A minimalist site benefits from subtle, elegant sounds.
User Control is Non-Negotiable: Always provide clear Mute/Volume controls, especially for any auto-playing or background audio. Better yet, make most audio user-initiated.
Enhance Interactivity & Feedback:
Leverage the Web Audio API: For complex effects, spatial audio, or truly interactive experiences.
Incorporate Audio Cues: Short sounds for button clicks, notifications, or hover states can make your site feel more responsive (use subtly!).
Sync Sound with User Actions: Immediate feedback reinforces that an action was detected.
Optimize for Performance:
Compress Audio Files: Reduce file size without significant quality loss. Adjust bitrate and sample rate.
Preload Strategically: Use the preload attribute in HTML audio tags for critical sounds.
Consider Audio Sprites: Combine multiple short UI sounds into one file to reduce HTTP requests.
Test, Test, Test: Ensure your audio works flawlessly across different browsers, devices, and connection speeds.
