Project Title: Original UI Notification Chime for Professional App (Single Sound Effect) Overview I need a single, original sound effect designed for a software application used by lawyers and legal professionals. It plays as a notification chime — specifically a "meeting starting in 2 minutes" bump alert that appears as a small popup in the corner of the screen. The sound needs to feel professional, calm, and premium. It should be appropriate in an open-plan office or while on a client call — unobtrusive but noticeable. Sound Character The sound has two layered elements: High layer — bell arpeggio Three notes, ascending, arpeggiated (not struck simultaneously) Harp or acoustic bell timbre — warm, not bright or tinny Natural ring-out after the final note — the sound should linger and decay organically for around 2.5-3 seconds total Soft velocity — gentle strike, not aggressive Feels acoustic rather than synthesised Low layer — bass bloom A single soft percussive low note that lands at the start, underneath the arpeggio Rounded, warm attack — a "gung" not a "thwack" Should be felt more than heard — present but not dominant Fades within about 1.5 seconds so it doesn't overpower the bell layer No reverb on this layer — keep it clean and tight Together the two layers should feel like a considered, premium product moment — not a generic app ping. Reference touchpoints: the Apple iPhone "Chord" calendar notification (for the high layer character) and the opening bass hit of the Netflix intro (for the low layer character and chest resonance) — but shorter, softer, and far less cinematic than either. What I don't want Anything that sounds like a generic smartphone notification Bright, tinny, or high-pitched-only sounds Drama or cinematic weight — this is a subtle professional tool, not a movie Long sustain on the bass layer Synthesised or electronic timbre — keep it acoustic in character Technical Deliverables WAV file, 44.1kHz, 16-bit minimum MP3 version also provided (high quality, 320kbps) Total sound duration: approximately 2–3 seconds Clean fade-out, no clipping Revisions I'd expect 2–3 revision rounds to get the balance between the two layers right. The main variable will be the bass/bell volume ratio — I'll give clear feedback on each draft. Budget: $50 AUD

Hi there, Most app notifications cause anxiety. In a high-stakes environment like law firms, professionals need a sound that signals a meeting with calm, premium authority—not a generic smartphone "ping." As an audio engineer specializing in organic sound design, I can deliver exactly what you need by blending the warmth of the Apple Chord with the subtle anchor of a Netflix-style bass hit. How I will execute your brief: • High Layer: A soft, ascending 3-note acoustic bell/harp sequence. Warm, natural 2.5–3s decay, and zero synthetic harshness. • Low Layer: A clean, dry (no reverb) low "gung" that fades in 1.5s. It will be felt more than heard, giving that expensive resonance without muddying the mix. Why work with me? I use premium analog-emulated processing to ensure the acoustic elements sound tactile and human, not sterile or computerized. Deliverables ($50 AUD): • 44.1kHz, 16-bit WAV + 320kbps MP3 (flawless, zero-clipping fade-out). • Proactive Drafts: I will provide 2 volume-ratio variations in the first round to give you immediate options. • 2-3 revision rounds included to perfect the balance. Let’s give your app a premium sonic identity. I’m ready to start today! Best regards, Marie N. | Budapes Studio

Hello, You've done something that most clients don't do: you've clearly described how the sound should feel, not just how it should sound. The challenge here isn't creating a notification. It's creating something that remains pleasant after being heard repeatedly throughout the workday. I can create an original chime built around the balance you've described: a warm, natural bell movement supported by a subtle low-frequency foundation that adds presence without becoming distracting. My goal would be to make it feel intentional, professional, and comfortable in an office environment rather than sounding like another generic software alert. I'll provide both WAV and high-quality MP3 versions and I'm happy to refine the balance during revision rounds until it sits exactly where you want it. Best regards, Rodrigo
