šŸ”Š Ideas wanted: new Monzo payment sounds

They’re both money chaching kind of sounds but quite different.

You can set any sound you like - in android it’s in app settings… There are 3 sounds these days, account credited, account debited and important (which appears to be the system default sound). Used to be a few more IIRC.

I’m happy with the subtle noise we have

They’ll be different teams that do different roles.

More than likely the ā€œteamā€ or person working on this would mostly be hired to do this type of stuff.

Future development such as UI with managing funds will be a different department. So they’ll be some working on the improvements in addition to this.

At least I’ll of thought so as the sound is already perfect so changing it isn’t urgent in my eyes.

I’ll be honest, this is one of the worst posts I’ve seen.

Thanks everyone, lots of interesting takeaways for us here. The most useful being that folks generally don’t have a problem with the current sound.

As some of you have already said, this work would never happen instead of work on things like joint accounts and so on. If we decide to do this it’ll be properly prioritised against other work.

Thanks again for your input :hot_coral_heart:

I absolutely love the current cha-ching sound when money gets credited or debited from my account. This is one of the reasons I joined (among others).

It means they can shout from the rooftops about it on Twitter and Facebook / Insta, the youths will make themselves all wet about it and engagement will be up again.

For incoming payments…

Serious answer I’d probably stick with the current one as I quite like it!

Side note, don’t try changing the sound to play around on Android… Turns out there’s no way to restore it to the app provided one without uninstalling and reinstalling! I was just trying to find a way to hear the current ones! :weary:

How about this, to trigger everyone who works remotely…

(and uses teams…)

On a serious note though, I saw a video the other day about Sound Design in the Dutch retailer Albert Heijn, who’ve chosen to use some deliberate sound design at the self checkout.

Will dig out a link if I can find.

There’s a thing called sonic branding, which is where a sound is associated with a brand.

Think the McDonald’s ā€œI’m loving itā€ jingle or (if you’ve ever used French railways) the second or so of tune that SNCF plays.

Personally, I’d quite like something unique but not too brash…
