Cricket (warning sound)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A cricket is a type of cockpit audio alert onboard commercial aircraft such as those of Airbus.[1][2] Its sound is intentionally designed to be extremely difficult for pilots to ignore. The "chirp chirp" sound is named after the insect that it imitates.
