I utterly agree on reducing continuous and loud sound warnings in the cabin. This 1996 757 Aeroperu crash recording is quite scary: http://www.youtube.com/watc

I utterly agree on reducing continuous and loud sound warnings in the cabin. This 1996 757 Aeroperu crash recording is quite scary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5QSBlYTJ1Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5QSBlYTJ1Y They had no functioning pitot tubes and lots of contradictory indications, which triggered a storm of alarms, most of them false. Pilots spend quite some time trying to shut alarms off while trying to figure out their situation with air control. I can't imagine trying to talk and cooperate with colleagues, facing a complex system and a life-or-death situation, while so many loud and stressful sounds are buzzing through my ears. After 9:00, the plane inverts upside down, a "whoop-whoop" alarm goes off and the plane finally crashes into the sea. The alarm only served the sinister purpose of announcing they were going to die.
