Thanks for the notes of appreciation shared here on this thread and elsewhere. A great deal of community and staff effort has gone into conceptualizing this contest and making it a reality, especially since May of this year when we switched to a more active phase of the project. The great participation in the votes so far is much appreciated. With further thanks to your help and input, we were able to fix a few glitches and oversights as well. We took the precedent of voting and the reliable Schulze method from recent visual logo contests for Abstract Wikipedia and MediaWiki (you can learn more on Diff).   

So, please have a listen or listen again, and help select the sound of Wikimedia

Best regards,
Mehrdad

I love this.  Thanks for all the work going into the candidates!

(the voting widget is extremely non-intuitive however...)

I didn't expect very much of this project.
I was wrong.

Thanks for all the logo proposals!

Wow, I'm really impressed at the quality of these proposed sound logos.  It's going to be hard to choose!

Thank you to all of the contributors, organizers, and volunteer screeners.

I can't vote, but just wanted to send a note to say it was wonderful to hear all of the potential final sound logos. There are so many wonderful ones it will be hard to choose a single sound. 
One consideration that could have been included in the How to Vote section - the sound should be one people would not tire of hearing frequently...as we do indeed hope they will hear it often!

Hi everyone, 


Voting in the Wikimedia sound logo contest has started [1]. Crowds, pages turning, drums, chimes, vocals, and the sound of keyboards typing. Wikimedia is alive with sound, music, and everything in between. From December 6 to 19, 2022, please play a part and help identify the Sound of All Human Knowledge. Voting is open until 19 December, 23:59 UTC. Learn more on Diff [2]. 


The sound logo team is grateful to everyone who participated in this global contest. We received 3,235 submissions from 2,094 participants in 135 countries. We are incredibly grateful to the team of volunteer screeners and the selection committee who, among others, helped to bring us to where we are today. It is now up to Wikimedia to choose its sound logo. 


Best wishes,

The sound logo team
