For those of poor sight, yes. For the rest of us, I'm afraid there are some who agree with this, but personally I don't like my interfaces to make sounds as communicative signals, partly because I work with sound a good deal of the time, and partly because it is disturbing. Nor am I willing to raise my voice to communicate with a machine. With animals, yes, because the interchange with a conscious being may always be worthwhile.

Things already make sounds when there's a reason for it, indexical sounds such as the speeding fan of the laptop indicating some process making heavy use of the processor, or the noise of a boiling kettle of water which indicates when the temperature is about right, if you pay attention to it. Those naturally occuring "interfaces" are quite enough for me.
