The WoodenBeaver sound theme

The WoodenBeaver sound theme

The WoodenBeaver sound theme is a proposal for new default system sounds for Ubuntu 18.04. The intention was to create a cohesive set of sounds that will enhance the user experience without getting in the way. The WoodenBeaver sounds are played on a wooden percussion instrument to give the theme an african feeling. To make the theme feel light and responsive, the sounds are short and there's no reverb or delay added.

Enjoy! MadsRH
