We need a communication medium that involves more than the exchange of words, sounds is one of the better known disciplines that communicates powerfully through nonverbal means (Somliar 1994)
There is a long tradition of communicating through non-speech sound: like horns and bells in Europe: Hunting horns are an excellent example of signal type non-speech messages. These messages included warnings, cheering on the hounds, calls for aid, fanfares for each animal and so on. Drums in Africa is one of the most remarkable methods of communication is the talking drum of central Africa.
In this era of ubiquitous computing, we are equipped with technology that enables us to take advantage of the universal meaning of sounds to create rich soundscapes that can enhance and intensify computer interfaces. (Brewster et al 1998)
