Older Pixel models to get Pixel 9's "Sound Matters" which is not for the birds but from them
When Google introduced the Pixel 9 series last week, the new line came with a collection of ring tones and alarms called "Sound Matters" which Google says is made up of "beautiful and diverse sounds of birdsong." The audio comes from the the "dawn chorus of birds found in remote and wild areas of Botswana and Zimbabwe." 

According to Google, "Research has shown that "sounds and songs of birds can significantly benefit our mental and emotional wellbeing. It can aid in reducing stress, lowering anxiety, and improving mood. The soothing melodies of birdsong can transport us to a place of peace and tranquility, even amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life."


Last year Google released some new sounds for notifications and alarms in a collection called "Gems." This was made up of eight ringtones (Cosmic Play, Amber Beats, Sapphire, Ethereal Vibration, Crimson Dreams, Mineral Chimez, Enchanted, and Fracture), nine alarm sounds (Echo, Prism, Rituals, Sublime, Fusion, Aquamarine, and Little Wonders), and nine notification sounds (Liquid Sunshine, Reveal, Glitz, Opal Bell, Occasion, Magic Wand, Radiate, Swerve, and Mercury).
