contents While 3D Gaussian representations (3DGS) have proven effective for modeling the geometry and appearance of objects, their potential for capturing other physical attributes-such as sound-remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we present a novel framework dubbed SonicGauss for synthesizing impact sounds from 3DGS representations by leveraging their inherent geometric and material properties. Specifically, we integrate a diffusion-based sound synthesis model with a PointTransformer-based feature extractor to infer material characteristics and spatial-acoustic correlations directly from Gaussian ellipsoids. Our approach supports spatially varying sound responses conditioned on impact locations and generalizes across a wide range of object categories. Experiments on the ObjectFolder dataset and real-world recordings demonstrate that our method produces realistic, position-aware auditory feedback. The results highlight the framework's robustness and generalization ability, offering a promising step toward bridging 3D visual representations and interactive sound synthesis.
