Sonic UX (Book)
Coming May 2026 from the MIT Press! This book guides UX researchers on what questions to ask about sound and how to investigate them, from testing contexts to research methods. Grounded in contemporary sensory science, the book examines how sound shapes emotional and perceptual responses to products, interfaces, and brands.
