... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested.

Roberts, Linda A. and Angiolillo-Bent, Joel (1988): The Relative Pleasantness and Distinctiveness of a Variety of Auditory Patterns. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 554-557.

There are numerous instances in which auditory patterns could be employed to give a variety of signals or messages. The aim of this research was to investigate those sound qualities which contribute to an auditory signal's pleasantness and distinctiveness. A variety of auditory schemes were assessed, based on a number of different musical and acoustic dimensions. It was observed that patterns that varied along the rhythmic domain were most easily distinguished while frequency modulated intervals were judged to be most pleasant. The scheme that optimized both distinctiveness and pleasantness entailed four-note melodic sequences.
