I can't figure which thread to put this suggestion into, so here's a new
one.

Filling a cockpit with raucous warning noises is very likely to be confusing
in a stressful situation - fortunately, there is another way. Instead of an
electronic noisemaker, use small .wav files burned into EPROM's of soft
human voices stating the problem in plain words. I've always liked the
military idea of a soft female voice saying "Bingo fuel" as a low fuel
warning.

It should be possible for one of our resident gadgeteers to build a small
box with a speaker, memory and an array of connections for hooking up the
various warning system switches. A USB port allowing the device to be
connected to a computer running the appropriate software would allow the
user to upload any warning audio files desired.

Of course, I expect the r.a.s comedians to have a field day with this, so go
ahead, it's entertaining.

Irregardless of my other post on this thread;
Its a good idea Bill. I'm sure there are plenty of tech people in
Colorado alone who've had their work out-sourced to Bangalore who could
do it.
Might work well to synch up with instructors to use the exact word or
phrasing (maybe the instructors voice?) that they use with students for
a particular situation.
