This resonates with me. I just bought a Pixel 3a and you can tell they spent a lot of time and energy working on all the little sounds and chirps and lights and buzzes that the thing makes whenever it powers on or does anything. It really was amazing the way it did all those little effects in coordination.

And the first thing I did after finishing setup was to find the screen where I could turn all that crap off because really, why would I want my phone to buzz at me ever single time I pressed a key on the keyboard. I mean yeah, it’s delightful and all. But it’s also terrible.

It’s like the “torch mode” that TVs have so that they’re extra bright and colourful in the shop. The one that’s off by default on the one in the box because the tv you bring home needs to be able to display tv shows without burning out your retinas.
