The emotional, physical and aesthetic value of a sound is linked not only to the causal explanation we attribute to it but also to its own qualities of timbre and texture, to its own personal vibration. So just as directors and cinematographers have everything to gain by refining their knowledge of visual materials and textures, we can similarly benefit from disciplined attention to the inherent qualities of sounds.

Breaking through the terminology of sound design!
AUROSPHERE
Sometimes, even we have trouble putting into words what a scene needs in terms of sound, as sound is naturally abstract. So we have created a little cheatsheet of descriptors using some of the most common onomatopeias and expressions related to sound. We hope this helps improve communications in sound terms between creators.
