Sounds and Music

Adding sound to your mobile app transforms how users experience it. A satisfying click confirms a button tap, a chime celebrates success, and ambient music sets the mood for focus or relaxation. With Vibecode, you can generate and integrate audio for any moment—whether it’s feedback on user actions, voice guidance, or immersive background music. The right sounds make your app feel polished, responsive, and memorable.

When to Use Sound

  • Sound effects confirm user interactions and provide immediate feedback
  • Voiceovers guide users, provide information, or enhance accessibility
  • Background music sets the mood and enhances immersion

The three main types of audio that you can add to your app

  1. Sound Effects
