The output for sound hazard being set is "loud sounds" but it isn't defined anywhere what this means or when to set it. I thought we weren't going to wade into what a sound hazard is for now?

If we want to output something, maybe it should only say "Sound" and leave it to users to find out what the publisher means by that from the summary or by contacting them.

Making this change in the guidelines. Also it is not just loud sounds that could be a problem, but also sounds at certain pitches which could be uncomfortable.

but also sounds at certain pitches which could be uncomfortable

Right, the current hazard value is too generic. There are also sound patterns that can cause seizures. The specifics of what you're reporting can't be conveyed with what we have to work with right now.
