Revision history [back]

Hi,

One gripe I've got with the Jolla is that I can't hear the ringtones and notifications. The sounds themselves are very nice, but they aren't engineered to work well with the speak found on the phone.

Piano sounds often have a low-frequency "bump" of the felt hammer hitting the strings; in this case, the energy of the bump is dictating the overall loudness achievable by the sound. Roll off that low frequency bump, and boost the volume. Additionally, a boost in the frequency range for the "sweet spot" of the speaker would give additional oomph to the notifications.

I appreciate the aesthetic of "honesty" in the sounds. Simplicity of the piano. But maybe a woodblock on top to add a percussive attack and to suit the speaker wouldn't be all wrong.
