Translations:Sonification in practice/107/en

Apart from taste and esthetic considerations, we need to consider factual conditions: in the case of background continuous sound as a product of a sonification to monitor some data stream we should therefore take into account the potential listener fatigue to that type of sound. We can consider the difference of using familiar sounds (for example even recorded samples of voices and sentences of the target listeners) compared to new and special digitally synthesized sounds. Designers of sonification systems should at least be be aware of the variety of different impacts that their sounds can have upon the listener (synthesized sounds could surprise!).
