The problem
File names don’t tell you how a sound feels
Sound libraries are searched by keywords and file names. But when you are building a near-win or a jackpot moment, what you actually need is a feeling.

Every result has to be opened and listened to. The names say nothing about energy, tension or how big the moment feels.
