1. A method comprising:

  • providing, by a computing device, first audio data corresponding to a first audible sound, wherein the first audible sound is output to a user;

    determining, based on at least one signal received from at least one sensor coupled to the computing device, a first indication of user movement in response to providing the first audio data;

    after determining the first indication of user movement, providing, by the computing device and for a first time of multiple times, second audio data corresponding to a second audible sound, wherein the second audible sound is output to the user, and wherein the second audible sound is different than the first audible sound;

    in response to providing the second audio data for the first time;

    determining, based on the at least one signal received from the at least one sensor, a second indication of user movement, the second indication of user movement being different from the first indication of user movement; and

    determining a motivational score associated with the second audible sound;

    providing, by the computing device and for a second time of the multiple times, the second audio data corresponding to the second audible sound that is output to the user;

    in response to providing the second audio data for the second time;

    determining, based on the at least one signal received from the at least one sensor, a third indication of user movement that is different from the first indication of user movement; and

    in response to determining that the third indication of user movement is different from the first indication of user movement, increasing the motivational score associated with the second audible sound, wherein increasing the motivational score of the second audible sound indicates one or more of an increased likelihood that the second audible sound is motivational to the user or that the second audible sound causes a motivational effect for the user; and

    identifying, by the computing device and based on the motivational score, that the second audible sound is motivational to a user.
