Thanks for the notes of appreciation shared here on this thread and elsewhere. A great deal of community and staff effort has gone into conceptualizing this contest and making it a reality, especially since May of this year when we switched to a more active phase of the project <https://diff.wikimedia.org/2022/05/24/refining-a-global-contest-to-create-the-sound-of-wikimedia/>. The great participation in the votes so far is much appreciated. With further thanks to your help and input, we were able to fix a few glitches and oversights as well. We took the precedent of voting and the reliable Schulze method <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schulze_method> from recent visual logo contests for Abstract Wikipedia <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Abstract_Wikipedia/Wikifunctions_logo_concept> and MediaWiki <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Proposal_for_changing_logo_of_MediaWiki,_2020/Round_2> (you can learn more on Diff <https://diff.wikimedia.org/2022/05/14/conceptualizing-a-new-logo-contest-based-on-existing-practices/>).
So, please have a listen or listen again, and help select the sound of Wikimedia <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Sound_Logo_Vote>.
