Definition
Encoding or relating certain actions or events with sounds, allowing data to be compressed into soundscapes. An example would be to use one type of notification sound for a text message and another for a phone call. An extended use would be in a proximal notification application, where the distance between two users is defined by sounds that change based on the distance.
