    Topic: Engineering

     From Handwiki - Reading time: 1 min

    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.
