Short answer

Sonic branding is the use of a distinctive sound, jingle, or short melody to identify a brand across audio, video, and app experiences. An audio logo works much like a visual logo, building recognition through repetition, and is especially useful in audio and voice environments where viewers may not see a brand's visual identity.
