Softer sounds for dark mode

This change has been echoed on Bleeping Computer, where they have listed the new sounds compared to the existing ones for clear mode. A novelty that comes with Windows 11 and that causes a whole revision of some of the system sounds Now these sounds change depending on whether we are using the clear mode or dark mode.

"

For dark mode, the Microsoft team has developed new sounds based on the already known ones but introducing some small differences. In the words of Microsoft officials: Windows 10 sounds were crystal clear, literally created with crystal clear wavelengths.In Windows 11, we&39;ve focused on making technology calm down. To do this, we needed to re-evaluate our soundscape in order to also be calm."

"If you use the dark mode and compare the warnings with those offered by the light mode, you can perceive softer sounds, thanks to the use of a rounder wavelength. Personally I consider them more intimate, if that adjective can be used, more relaxed tones."

For its part and compared to the softer sounds of dark mode, in light mode the sounds are more energetic, perhaps thinking in which the dark mode is used more at night and in this way the vibrating sounds disturb less.

Dark mode thus features ten new and exclusive sounds of the system. On the other hand, the clear mode sounds are still stored in the path C:\Windows\Media>"
