where certain things HAD to be heard over twenty other voices.
Often people say that higher-pitched, female voices are easier to hear over machinery noises, that’s why car satnavs and voice warnings in cockpits tend to be female. Which would seem to be the opposite of a low-pitched voice being more commanding. What do you reckon?

Almost on topic, some residents of my former high-rise barracks liked playing their bass tracks blaring out the windows, which got my roommate and I thinking, if they have the bass, we can take the treble... and we got our competition bagpipe CDs out and cranked them up. We made our point. (And the barracks mangers shut us both up... )
