I was annoyed by my default terminal bell sound and that got me thinking!

@toothpaste_sandwich Right now I just have the KDE Oxygen sounds because I haven't set up any custom sounds since I'm not sure how to yet. I really liked the Wii & Wii U sound design though; they did alot of the work making the console fun even outside of playing games, even things like changing system settings & hearing the clicks & scrolling sounds. I would love to have a computer with similarly complex & fun sound design.

@toothpaste_sandwich On my phone I have several Wii sound effects for different notifications. Messages & emails have the Wii Message Board "new mail" sound, important notifications have the "update complete" & "copy data complete" sounds, bad notifications have the "failed to read disk" sound, & other notifications have the Wii menu click sound. The UI still has no sounds at all though because Android launchers never have sounds :(

I never owned a Wii so I'm not familiar with those sounds... I'll have to check them out! Shouldn't be too hard to create a sound theme around them, if you're so inclined.
