One of the new features in macOS Big Sur is a whole new set of Alert sounds in System Preferences. They are actually the same alert sounds, but re-imagined. Apple says: <em>System sounds are all-new and even more pleasing to the ear. The new system alerts were created using snippets of the originals, so they sound familiar.</em> I created a video comparing them. But it was quite a task to pair them up since they have new names. The names match up in a fun, playful way too! Ping is now Pong, Frog is Jump, Hero is Heroine. Some are more subtle, like Bottle to Glass. Only one has the same name: Sosumi. Apple didn't want to let go of that <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sosumi" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">little joke</a>. I'm not 100% sure I got Purr -> Sonar and Tink -> Pluck matched right. What do you think? I was making this just for Club MacMost. But I kinda like the result. Should I make it a regular MacMost video too? Maybe with some more explanation at the beginning and end?
