Researchers develop a unique sound to help you to hear escooters passing by

Researchers develop a unique sound to help you to hear escooters passing by What sound should an escooter make? How do researchers develop an escooter sound? The researchers plan to test a range of combinations of sounds and environments at UCL PEARL with people who are less likely to detectescootersnearby. The sound will encompass the needs of people with sight loss, hearing loss, and neurodiverse conditions. According to Dr. Antonio J Torija Martinez, Principal Investigator at the University of Salford, researchers have developed a standalone system to generate sound signals according to the scooter’s operating conditions, such as vehicle speed, and investigated pedestrian awareness of an approaching scooter with a series of added warning sounds....
