10 most addictive sounds in the world

Sound plays an important part in our lives.

Whether listening for traffic when crossing the street, or hearing that familiar dial tone when making phone calls, sound has the power to motivate us to buy more, want more, and dream more.

According to a study conducted on 50 volunteers by Buyology, Inc. and Elias Arts (and published in Fast Company), sound has a remarkable effect on consumers.  In fact, many advertising jingles have a stronger addictive power than familiar sounds in nature, such as birds chirping or waves breaking.
