Abstract The purpose of this paper is to develop a set of guidelines for the design and/or evaluation of the auditory warning systems used on the flight-decks of commercial aircraft. The principles that govern the design of auditory warnings are introduced in the first section of this paper by comparing the problems inherent in existing warning systems with a prototype of an advanced auditory warning. The guidelines are then developed in four separate sections concerned with the overall sound level, the temporal characteristics, the spectral characteristics, and the ergonomics of auditory warnings.
