Is That A Text Message, An IM, Or A Facebook Notification? I Can Never Tell
-
Software, websites, apps: Everything on your computer and phone has gotten noisier, and that's by design. Every beep, ring, or other "sonic brand" is meant to get your attention and bring you to a particular app or site, from Facebook to Slack. It can get annoying, but software and web designers don't care, as long as you continue to drop everything else and come back to them. You CAN, however, turn most of those sounds off, and you CAN turn ALL sounds off, which I do, because life's too noisy as it is. (CNBC)
