* DO: Use dynamic variation to highlight specific moments in a sound.
* CAUTION: Little dynamic variation makes the sound feel simpler.

University of Michigan - Ann Arbor

In sound design, *dynamics* refer to changes in volume or loudness on either a micro scale (volume changes to a single sound) or a macro scale (volume changes to a set of sounds). 

Dynamic variation allows sounds to feel natural and realistic. Dynamic changes can highlight sonic moments of interest, create a sense of progress through a musical narrative, and give sound a natural quality.
