The Power of Sound in Advertising

Advertisers have long utilized sound to embed brands in people's minds and persuade consumers. From catchy jingles like the Chili's Baby Back Ribs song to sound effects in Alka Seltzer commercials, sound has the ability to create desire and evoke certain emotions. Companies carefully choose sounds that are memorable and representative of their brand, such as the coin test sound in Old Dutch cleanser commercials or the sound of brewing coffee in Maxwell House ads. This use of sound as a selling tool has a long history in advertising and continues to be impactful in marketing today.
