You can define the sound frequency associated with each vertical speed range in order to obtain audio feedback perfectly suited to your flying style. *** #### **Creating a sound configuration** 1. Go to the following page:\ 2. Select your instrument. The default sound curve is displayed. It represents the relationship between vertical speed and sound frequency: * the horizontal axis (x-axis) corresponds to vertical speed (vario, in m/s), * the vertical axis (y-axis) corresponds to sound frequency (in Hz). Modify the curve by moving the points to define the desired sound for each vario range. You can listen to the sound rendering at any time using the speaker icons in the configurator. 3. Download the sound configuration file to your computer or your phone. *** #### **Transferring the configuration to the instrument** 4. Launch the **Syride Link** application on your computer or mobile device. 5. Connect your instrument via USB or Bluetooth. 6. Click on **“Send a file”**, then select the downloaded sound configuration file. The new sound configuration is immediately applied to the instrument. *** #### **Editing an existing file** It is also possible to open and modify a sound configuration file already stored on your computer using the configurator. ⚠️ **Important note:** Sound configuration files are not stored on Syride servers. Make sure to keep your files if you want to reuse them later. ⚠️ **Important note:** It is possible to retrieve the instrument’s sound configuration for editing using the **Syride Link** software on a computer or phone by using the **“Retrieve a file”** button. *** #### **Usage tips** A higher frequency produces a higher-pitched sound (often more audible, but less comfortable to hear). A progressive variation of the frequency allows better perception of the strength of lift. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://manuals.syride.com/english-manual-alti-and-gps-v4/10-customizing-the-variometer-sound.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
