ABSTRACT

This study aims to explore the importance of auditory feedback in human-computer interaction, with a particular focus on proposing methods that enable users to intuitively understand sound-generating events in the real world through auditory icons. By doing so, it seeks to reduce cognitive load and design immersive interfaces. The research methodology involves investigating interface design approaches that integrate auditory cues based on cognitive psychology, ecological psychology, and human factors theories. Various case studies and experiments were conducted to analyze the effects of auditory feedback and evaluate its impact on user experience both quantitatively and qualitatively. First, auditory feedback effectively complements the limitations of visual information and enhances user experience. Second, auditory mapping strategies shorten learning curves, improve situational awareness, and increase user immersion. Third, ecologically valid auditory cues provide users with swift and accurate information during decision-making processes. This study confirmed that auditory feedback is a crucial element for reducing users’ cognitive load and fostering natural and intuitive interactions. Furthermore, it suggests that the strategic utilization of multimodal sensory modalities and auditory cues can maximize system usability. In conclusion, it emphasizes that systematic and consistent auditory feedback design is central to creating more intuitive and immersive user experiences.
