The new “Sound of All Human Knowledge” will identify Wikipedia content on smart speakers and audio platforms. Visual logos get all the love, but audio is just as powerful. Thanks to the power of crowdsourcing, Wikipedia now has signature sound of its own.
The Sound of All Human Knowledge comes from a contest launched in September 2022. Over the course of a month, Wikimedia says it received over 3,235 sound entries, submitted by 2,094 people in 135 countries. The organization assembled a team of volunteers and sound experts to narrow the possibilities to ten finalists, and,The winning sound features recordings of pages turning in a book, mouse clicks, and keyboard taps over a bed of warm synthesizer tones.
Wikipedia says it’s eager to do more work in collaboration with voice assistants and tech companies which will feature the sound, and says the new sound will be a part of that project in the coming months.
