Methods, apparatus, computer program products embodied on non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums, and systems of sound generation for monitoring user interfaces include storing a mapping of visual elements of a user interface (UI) to respective coordinates in a virtual space, each of the respective coordinates having a corresponding distance within the virtual space from a virtual listener. For each mapped visual element in a first set of mapped visual elements, a respective sound component is generated based on a state of the mapped visual element within the UI, and the distance between the coordinates of the mapped visual element and the virtual listener. A plurality of the sound components is then transmitted to a remote device.
