Distinctiveness is the soul of trademark protection, and sound Trademarks should meet the same distinctiveness requirements as ordinary trademarks.

The functionality of the mark means that the characteristics of the mark are generated by the nature of the goods themselves and are used to obtain technology. Necessary for the effect or essential for the goods to have substantial value. For example, an ordinary ATM machine will make a "clatter" sound when counting money. This sound is a functional sound and therefore cannot be registered as an ATM machine trademark.
