Google Sounds brings Pixel ringtone and visuals to other Android phones

At least, it will once the app is actually ready to launch.

An app from Google called Sounds recently surfaced on the Play Store that, when installed on compatible phones, enables a collection of alarms, ringtones, and notification sounds previously only available for the Pixel. You'll also get the visualizations that go with them — those flowing gradients of soft, muted colors that show up on the display of a Pixel when, say, your alarm goes off in the mornings.

Naturally, you can't install Sounds on a Pixel, even though the screenshots on the Play Store listing are from a Pixel 3; should you try, you'll receive an error saying that it's already installed because, well, the sounds and visuals are already there.

Interestingly though, downloading Sounds on a compatible app yields no results for the time being. Google will be pushing a server-side update to the app later on that enables the Pixel sounds and visuals, but until then the app is basically just an empty shell with a button that doesn't do anything — this clearly isn't meant to be available just yet.
