Windows 11 brings a redesigned user interface and an overhaul to the system sounds, including different sounds for Light Mode and Dark Mode.
Unlike all previous versions of Windows, Microsoft also created different versions of the system sounds for Windows 11, depending on whether you are in Light Mode or Dark Mode.
For Light Mode users, the sounds are meant to be brighter and louder, while in Dark Mode, the sounds will be quieter and more subdued with a slight echo.
"We introduced light and dark sound options so that people who may have low visibility or no vision can still experience light and dark themes audibly. Themed sounds improve productivity by matching your working style through your theme. Dark Sounds help you stay in focus while Light Sounds ensure you're always engaged" - Microsoft spokesperson.
The Light Mode sounds are still stored under the C:WindowsMedia folder with the new Dark Mode sounds stored under C:WindowsMediadm.
The Light Mode sound will be in audio control with a white background, while the Dark Mode sound will be the dark background.
