Challenge
Ghydion Co. tasked us to design concise, expressive sound effects for their smart hydration bottle. Creating clear, non-intrusive audio alerts for modes like goal completion, power on/off and milestones, reflecting the bottle’s unique “smart” abilities while ensuring seamless hardware integration.
Overview
A smart hydration revolution
Ghydion Co. required a sonic identity that embodied the innovative, user-centric spirit of the world’s first smart gallon water bottle. As a product leveraging gamification and behavioral psychology to enhance hydration habits, Ghydion required audio that could vividly express its dynamic modes and “sentience” in seconds. Motif Sound Design crafted a suite of concise, engaging sound effects, clear non-intrusive, and emotionally resonant that seamlessly integrated into the bottle’s hardware, elevating the user experience across reminders, goal completions, and mode transitions.
BRIEF
Ghydion Co. envisioned a sonic signature for their smart hydration bottle that captured the clean, modern sophistication of a tech-forward wellness brand. Motif Sound Design intentionally crafted concise, expressive sound effects with crisp, minimalist tones and subtle rhythmic pulses, reflecting Ghydion’s innovative identity. Each alert, from hydration reminders to goal completions, was designed to feel intuitive and uplifting, blending seamless functionality with a refined, future-focused aesthetic.
A nuanced, thematic sonic signature that opens with quick, high-frequency pulses to suggest intelligent motion, followed by a detailed build into a melodic theme evoking modernity, and clarity.
A downward, chromatic sonic signature designed to contrast its ‘ON’ counterpart lowered by an octave to convey a sense of closure and shutdown, with a subtle, descending motion that signifies deactivation or completion.
A bright, uplifting sonic signature featuring sharp, crisp notes that evoke clarity and a sense of accomplishment designed to leave a confident, affirmative impression.
A bright, celebratory motif designed as signature finales capturing the feeling of small victories and goal completion. More spirited than milestone cues, these sounds mark moments of success with a joyful, uplifting tone.
