I welcome your comments on the following proposal: Those with vision impairment should also have the right to explore and map their surroundings in ways appropriate for them. We should have a unified way to specify the kind of noise that is generated by an object. The most useful ones are those which are right beside a footway and which is clearly audible when walking by.
The existing documentation for man_made=street_cabinet should be updated to deprecate sound=* and the few existing OSM occurrences for this tag combination along with power=* should be changed to use audible=*. The following mistaggings of traffic_signals:sound=* should also be eliminated manually: sound=* (in the right combination), crossing:signals:sound=*, crossing:sound=*.
