audio cues
Signals you hear
Audio cues are sounds that signal something or prompt an action.
In film and theater, they tell performers when to enter or speak.
In video games, they alert players to danger or opportunity—a chime when health is low, footsteps indicating an approaching enemy.
Accessibility features use audio cues to help visually impaired users navigate interfaces: The app uses audio cues to confirm each selection.
