Why use sound in Prezi?


Apart from the reasons mentioned previously, your Prezi will really benefit from having sound if you decide to embed it into a website or share it on the Prezi explore page (http://prezi.com/explore/). There's more detail on this in Chapter 6, Prezis for Online Delivery, but making Prezi files that people can explore on their own is a huge benefit to people that might not have had the time to be at your live presentation. Adding sound into these online Prezis will help the users exploring them understand the content quicker and with more clarity.

Or you might just want to create some kind of mood for the user that fits with your Prezis message.
