One thing that makes Apple products so distinctive is their iconic sounds, from the Mac start-up chime, to the distinctive iPhone ringtone, to the sad tones AirPods play when their batteries run low. Twenty Thousand Hertz explores these sonic landscapes in two beautifully produced episodes of their podcast. If you use Apple products, or just appreciate great sound design, you’ll enjoy these:

• The Sound of Apple 1.0
• The Sound of Apple 2.0
