"Significance of Pokeball Sound Effects?"

#PokemonGO: I rarely post, because I've learned that if I take the time, I will generally discover what I'm looking for because someone else made a post about it already. However, after extensive searching, I have yet to see anyone else post about this, and this particular subreddit (out of several I lurk in) seems to be the most likely to offer positive and insightful discussion to this.Have you noticed different sound effects when the pokeball hits the pokemon and have you wondered what is the significance?Specifically, I notice a "squish" sound and a distinct "tink" sound, which may be correlated to a bad throw and a good throw, respectively (more on this in a bit). As I stated, I did my own searching online, and I found the following:1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwPzCJqhh1E&t=0m14sA youtube video of all Pokemon Go sound effects; the pokeball ones start around the 15 second mark, but it is difficult to clearly make the out sound effects, because the video plays each sound effect quickly, one after the other...2) http://ift.tt/2h2UuNV zip file containing .wav files of all sounds in the game.3) http://ift.tt/2gQxFdw list of the sound files that says you can download them, but I have yet to successfully do so.The zip file and list are good to look at, because we can see the sound effect file names. Relevant to this discussion are:se_go_ball_mistake_hit_pokemon.wavse_go_ball_target.wavThe first one corresponds to that "squish" sound I think is associated with a bad throw, while the second corresponds to that "tink" that I think is associated with a good throw. Those associations are validated by the names of the files themselves, but I can tell you that I've successfully captured a pokemon with the "squish" sound, and pokemon have broken out of the ball with the "tink" sound (I'm going to use "squish" and "tink" from this point forward because they're shorter to type out than the original file names).I know there are plenty of other factors that play into successful catch rate, but I'm trying to determine if the sound effect is connected with another one, such as how centered the ball is.I noticed that when a pokeball hits a pokemon dead center (regardless of the size of the color ring), I am more likely to get the "tink" sound, but sometimes I've gotten the "squish" sound. Additionally, I'm more likely to get the "squish" sound if I don't hit the pokemon dead center, but I have also gotten the "tink" sound at times when I hit the pokemon off center. On top of that, I don't know if hitting a pokemon dead center significantly affects catch rate. As an example, the "great catch" ring size is large enough to hit the pokemon off center, still get a "great" rating, and get the "squish" sound. If I had the same ring size and hit the pokemon dead center to get the "tink" sound, would my catch rate improve?Related to all of this, there are two other sound effect files with interesting names:se_go_ball_ground.wavse_go_ball_mistake_ground.wavThey both involve the sound the pokeball makes when it hits the ground after taking/sucking in the pokemon, but I never noticed there were two different sounds. The difference is extremely subtle, and since one file has the word "mistake" in it, it may be correlated with the other "mistake" sound effect.So, I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this or knows more about it than I have been able to find. Apologies in advance if there is indeed a post or information about this already somewhere else. Please link in your reply. Thanks!P.S. I know the nature of this subreddit is that I probably should have carried out extensive research and posted the results here in order to publish data-driven conclusions about the sound effects, but I simply do not have the time to do that due to my real life job involving scientific research, and crowd-sourcing research seems to be another theme of this subreddit, although this particular topic on sound effects seems so specialized that most may find its conclusions to be insignificant to the whole of the game, which is eerily similar to much of novel scientific research that gets published these days (man, what a run-on post-script sentence; it's as if I have too much experience writing verbally dense research papers!).Edit: typos via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2gUNVJm
