Error Sounds – MATLAB’s Assortment of Error Noises

When running a MATLAB script, there are a few things that trigger a sound to go off. The first of these is when a break in the code is set for debugging which for a while triggered a nice sounding double beat almost like a wooden percussion instrument. The second is when an error happens in the code and it stops running as a result invoking the same noise. While the first use case is very informative, the second case is not so. Recently, my perspective on these sounds changed as I listened to another friends computer make a screaming sound as the program encounters an error. This slight change in the error noise changed my whole perspective on what was happening in the script.
