“…The contributions include examinations of, for instance, domestic appliances and exterior vehicle sounds (Fiore and Kelly, 2007;Jessen and Graakjaer, 2009;Miller and Marks, 1992), chocolate-cracking and paper-rustling sounds (Esch and Roth, 2005;Esch et al, 2006), bottleopening sounds (Fiore and Kelly, 2007;Rodero et al, 2015) and frictional sounds of handling cleaning and personal-care materials (Bolshakova, 2015;Knöferle et al, 2016). The issue of mediated versus unmediated sounds is discussed further in the last section of the paper.…”

“…However, the sound also qualifies as an index (Danesi, 2006, p. 27ff) because it appears closely and causally related to the opening of a bottle. Furthermore, the sound can be characterized as a symbol, since its conventional, commercially mediated association with various themes and lifestyles may connote change, happiness, a spark of life and an instant transformation to exquisite places (Rodero et al, 2015, p. 368; for similar processes of signification, see Esch and Roth, 2005;Esch et al, 2006). The symbolic mode requires considerable promotional and cultural processes of learning towards an agreed convention.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to advance the understanding of sound branding by developing a new conceptual framework and providing an overview of the research literature on non-musical sound. Design/methodology/approach Using four mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive types of non-musical sound, the paper assesses and synthesizes 99 significant studies across various scholarly fields. Findings The overview reveals two areas in which more research may be warranted, that is, non-musical atmospherics and non-musical sonic logos. Moreover, future sound-branding research should examine in further detail the potentials of developed versus annexed object sounds, and mediated versus unmediated brand sounds. Research limitations/implications The paper provides important insights into critical issues that suggest directions for further research on non-musical sound branding. Practical implications The paper identifies an unexploited terrain of possibilities for the use of sound in marketing and branding. Originality/value The paper identifies a subfield within sound-branding research that has received little attention despite its inevitability and potential significance.
