Audio feedback patterns

Sound and haptic feedback provide important cues for users with visual or motor limitations. These non-visual signals help confirm actions and convey system states.

Key feedback patterns:

  • System haptics: Use standard haptic patterns for success, failure, and warnings. These familiar physical signals help users recognize interaction results and upcoming events.
  • System sounds: Support built-in audio alerts and interface sounds that users expect. These standard sounds maintain consistency across apps.
  • Alternative feedback: When haptics aren't available (like on iPod touch), provide clear audio feedback for custom interface elements to confirm interactions.
