Common uses: errors and failed actions, invalid input.
Which error variation to use
For a form or login error in an app, start with the Soft Gentle buzzes or the Short UI Error files. Digital Glitchy and Harsh Double buzzes are more insistent, for a blocked action in a game. Descending Sad buzzes suit a lost turn, and Muted Thud-Like buzzes a quiet rejection.
