Another big thanks to Sentient Decision Science for providing preliminary research on the subject of POS Sounds. I hope to see more and more studies to come. 

Thank you also to Artlist.io and Pixabay for being such a great musical and sound effects resource. I also referenced an episode of the Inside Trader Joe’s podcast. A fun branded podcast to check out if you’re feeling Trader Joey.
