Then why do they use simulated female voices in cockpit warnings? This is settled science - not.

It's been years since I read the study - dealt with when a woman's voice should be used in an emergency and when a man's voice should be used. I'd probably get it backwards after all these years - but both types of voices in certain circumstances - are needed...

I don’t recall for certain either.

guessing here

Some women’s voices are easier for alerts etc. to hear . . . giving some directions in some sorts of situations.

Men’s voices can convey more solidity, priority, trustworthiness, seriousness in some situations.

When drug store calls with the automated female voice, I know the prescription is ready.

If the male autonomic voice comes on, I know there is something making prescription not yet filled.

I don't even have to listen to the rest of the message anymore.

Female voice....ready

Male voice.......not ready for some reason.
