 If we think of a continuum between sounds of [[Achievement]] and sounds of [[Failure]], sounds of [[No Can Do]] “feel” somewhere between a neutral degree of [[Awareness]] and tending towards [[Failure]], although they don’t get close enough to the latter to the point of being similar. A [[No Can Do]] sound is mostly informative; it does not reflect a judgement on the action of the player – although it informs about something that cannot be done and, as such, that is not interesting repeating.
-Solutions for [[No Can Do]] may be diegetic or non-diegetic. In the former case, the PC usually expresses itself the impossibility through a minimal Dialogue, which is sometimes accompanied by the [[Foley]] of the failing interaction. In the latter case it is common to use a [[Sound Effects|Sound Effect]] directed to the player.
