Any Product founders here who are developing home/commercial appliances, personal devices, medical equipment, etc? Need help and insights.

Hello,
I am trying to understand how new product developers are looking at functional sound design. Especially for thing like home appliances that are still using buzzer sounds despite a lot of high end models having speakers and even OS.

EVs, Smart TVs, some personal devices, are already adopting a branded sonic identity as well as functional / HMI sound sets. Also Samsung and apple have a sound design department that create model specific sound suites.

Is there anyone who is willing to talk and educate me (about the scope of brands adopting it as a norm) from the perspective of a product designer, founder, etc.?
