Dear Arya,
I wanted to share my thoughts on your sonic warning about getting burnt. Overall, I think
it's a very effective and well-constructed audio warning that effectively conveys the danger of
burns. The sequence of sounds you chose, from the initial water boiling to the sound of the child
being brought to a sink, followed by the relief of water running and a sigh of relief, creates a
One aspect that particularly stood out to me was how cohesive the audio is. Each sound
flows into the next seamlessly, building a sense of urgency and danger. A lot of thought went
into selecting the sounds and arranging them to effectively communicate the message.
However, I did find a small portion of the audio a bit confusing. Specifically, the transition
between the footsteps and the water boiling again was a bit unclear to me. If this is intended to
represent a different scenario, perhaps adding a second or two of silence between the two
In terms of suggestions for improvement, first, clarify the transition. Adding a brief
moment of silence between the two scenarios could help clarify the transition and make it
clearer to the listener that they are distinct sequences. Second, experiment with sound effects.
You've done a great job selecting sounds that convey the danger of burns, but experimenting
with different sound effects or variations could add even more depth and impact to the warning.
Third, consider pacing. While the overall pacing of the warning is effective, playing with the
speed of certain sounds or sequences could enhance the dramatic effect and create a more
Overall, though, I think your sonic warning is very effective and well-executed. It
effectively communicates the danger of burns and has a clear narrative that is easy to follow.
Best regards,
