Different sound/chime/buzzer/alarm for differnt ty The users are required to distinguish the kind of chime?
The system/machine will decide whatever the type of error, and set out the alarm, one alarm, right? then the user are alarmed and warned.
That's what I assumed, but if users have to distinguish them, see my added note...

This chime/alarm, is but one of many alarm/chime/buzzer. Different sound/chime/buzzer/alarm for differnt types of errors. (Please see my other questions). Thism means that I need a way to distinguish each sound/alarm/buzzer/chime from one another.
Yumico Tanaka (X) May 27, 2011:
It shouldn't, if there are no other chimes heard in the particular situation.

Do the users hear diffferent kinds of chime when the error happens? Does a user have to distinguish the sound of error chime each time when it happens? It is not stated in this question.
Shimpei Shimizu (X) (asker) May 27, 2011:
Shouldn't it be more detailed description to distinguish one warming chime / alarm from another? i.e. a "short chime followed by a long chime"

warning piano-key type chime,
or
short beep type chime,
and so on
some options can be considered, if the uses have to distinguish on each time of error.
