It's nicely summarised in the Diff post (https://diff.wikimedia.org/2022/12/06/vote-for-the-sound-of-all-human-knowledge/):_______________________________________________> We’ve been talking about a sound logo for quite some time. Virtual voice assistants are growing in use and popularity around the world. Wikimedia content is everywhere too, but often not correctly or consistently identified. A sound logo is a brief collection of sounds usually between 1 and 4 seconds. Our sound logo will be a new way to identify Wikimedia content across a range of auditory uses and devices.HTH,KostaOn 7.
