		+	[[Achievement]] is arguably the most widely explored use of sound in video games, in all times. It is used to signal virtually all positive happenings during gameplay, such as elemental accomplishments (gathering collectibles, picking power-ups, defeating regular opponents, ...), intermediate success (reaching a checkpoint, unlocking some feature, defeating a boss, ...), collateral achievements (conquering a bonus, earning a trophy, ...), completing the game, etc.
		+
		+	Sounds of [[Achievement]] are, to start with, a matter of [[Awareness]], in the sense that they signal a happening, clarifying its interest. Additionally, they have impact in the overall [[Emotional Script]], in the sense that they reward and highlight the player's behaviour.
		+
		+	Considering the potential recurrence of some [[Achievement]]s along the game experience, they ought to be carefully designed. They are usually short, though the duration may be adapted to the magnitude of the accomplishment.
		+
		+	Since the nature of the [[Achievement]] is often abstract, [[Sound Effects]] or [[Music]] snippets are a common option. In the case of events involving items whose manipulation has an audible [[Foley]] (e.g. picking a sack of coins), a sound derived from it may convey a more direct messaging. Other approaches, including diegetic and non-diegetic [[Dialogue]], have been explored as well.

		+	Perhaps the hardest challenge for a sound designer is to ensure (with a certain level of confidence) that a particular sound stimulus will indeed be perceived as "positive". {{Pending\| Insert some references to studies that can be performed}}.
