Imagine living in a coastal area at risk of flooding. There is an early warning system in place so that if water levels rise significantly an emergency alert is sent out to affected areas. Audio alerts are played through loudspeakers to give emergency instructions to people in danger. In this scenario, hard-to-understand audio doesn’t simply cause inconvenience – it can put lives at risk.
For those living with the threat of floods, earthquakes, or bush fires, high-quality audio is not a luxury – it can be a matter of life and death.
