The Sound Design Toolkit is a collection of physically-informed sound syn- thesis models, specifically designed for practice and research in Sonic In- teraction Design. The collection is based on a hierarchical, perceptually founded taxonomy of everyday sound events, and implemented by procedu- ral audio algorithms which emphasize the role of sound as a process rather than a product, while yielding acoustic results which are easily predictable and intuitively controllable resorting to basic everyday listening experience. Physical descriptions of sound events are intentionally simplified to achieve cartoonification, namely an exaggeration of the most perceptually relevant timbral features and a reduction of synthesis parameters which are functional to achieve both a higher computational efficiency and a better perceptual clarity.

Abstract
The Sound Design Toolkit is a collection of physically-informed sound syn- thesis models, specifically designed for practice and research in Sonic In- teraction Design. The collection is based on a hierarchical, perceptually founded taxonomy of everyday sound events, and implemented by procedu- ral audio algorithms which emphasize the role of sound as a process rather than a product, while yielding acoustic results which are easily predictable and intuitively controllable resorting to basic everyday listening experience. Physical descriptions of sound events are intentionally simplified to achieve cartoonification, namely an exaggeration of the most perceptually relevant timbral features and a reduction of synthesis parameters which are functional to achieve both a higher computational efficiency and a better perceptual clarity.
