Description

DESCRIPTION AUDIO WARNING DEVICE WITH ADJUSTABLE FREQUENCY ACCORDING TO HUMAN HEARING AGE TECHNICAL FIELD The invention relates to a device that provides audible warning only to a specified age group, without disturbing people in a certain age group who are not in the target audience in areas such as schools, factories, hospitals, elder care centers, military, etc. where people are guided with a common warning sound. KNOWN STATE OF THE TECHNOLOGY The sound frequencies that users can hear vary depending on their age group or due to events such as accidents and illnesses. However, since most electronic devices found in users' homes, schools, workplaces, and hospitals provide sound output within a specific frequency range, it is quite difficult for every user to hear the sounds emitted by these electronic devices with the same sensitivity. This can lead to psychological distress and a decrease in the user's quality of life. Currently available audio warning systems, particularly those used in shared living spaces, emit various metallic or electronic sounds to alert users audibly. Because the sound generated in this system is emitted at a fixed frequency, it can be heard even by those who are not intended to hear it or are bothered by it. The high volume and repeated warning sounds, such as school recess bells, can cause discomfort in those within earshot. These sounds can sometimes lead to medical conditions, even reaching the level of psychological obsession, in some elderly individuals. In areas catering to specific age groups, such as elderly care centers and schools, where people in the common age range are expected to hear the warning sound, warning systems that produce a sound intensity audible only to those under the age of 0 are needed. Consequently, the existence of the above problems and the inadequacy of existing solutions have necessitated a development in the technical field related to audible warning devices. PURPOSE OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a frequency-adjustable audible warning device that meets the aforementioned requirements, eliminates all disadvantages, and provides some additional advantages. The main purpose of the invention is to provide a frequency-adjustable audible warning device that can provide audible warnings only to a specified age group without disturbing people in a specific age group who are not part of the target audience in areas such as schools, factories, hospitals, elder care centers, military, etc., where people are guided by a common warning sound. The purpose of the invention is to develop a frequency-adjustable audible warning device that allows people within a specific age range, such as schools, elderly care centers, and factories, to hear the warning signal at maximum levels, while minimizing the impact of this sound on those outside of this age group. Another purpose of the invention is to change the frequency of the sound, ensuring that the sound signal reaches only the age range where the sound is needed, without causing any discomfort. This minimizes noise pollution. The structural and characteristic features of the invention, along with all its advantages, will be more clearly understood through the figures provided below and the detailed explanation provided, which includes references to these figures. Therefore, the evaluation should also be made taking these figures and the detailed explanation into account. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES In order to best understand the embodiment of the present invention and its advantages together with the additional elements, it should be evaluated together with the figures explained below. Figure 1; is the view of the audible warning device with adjustable frequency, which is the subject of the invention. REFERENCE NUMBERS A. Frequency adjustable audible warning device 1. Loudspeaker 2. Connection socket 3. Frequency adjustment button 4. Volume adjustment button. Display 6. Body The drawings do not necessarily have to be to scale and details that are not necessary to understand the present invention may have been omitted. Furthermore, elements that are at least substantially identical or have at least substantially identical functions are indicated with the same number. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In this detailed description, the preferred embodiments of the adjustable frequency audible warning device (A) which is the subject of the invention are explained solely for the purpose of better understanding the subject and in a way that does not create any limiting effects. People hear sounds in certain frequency ranges better or perceive them at a minimum level depending on their age. These can be divided into three main groups: children and adolescents, adults, and the elderly. These are: young people can generally hear sound frequencies up to 20,000 Hz. They may have difficulty. o Elderly (50+ years): Best hearing range: 20 Hz - 12,000 Hz. As age progresses, high-frequency hearing ability decreases further and they can generally hear frequencies of 12,000 Hz or lower. The primary reason for these changes is that the hair cells in the ear become damaged and do not regenerate with age. Hearing loss due to age is called presbycusis and this condition usually manifests itself as difficulty in hearing high frequency sounds. Our invention, which we call the adjustable frequency audible warning device (A), designed based on the above information, in its most basic form, includes a body (6) housing an electronic device oscillator capable of adjusting the frequency on which all the elements are positioned; at least one speaker (1) that enables the sound to be emitted and is connected to the body (6) via connection sockets (2); a frequency adjustment button (3) that allows the user to determine the desired frequency value; a volume adjustment button (4) that adjusts the noise (decibel) intensity of the sound; and a display (5) that displays the adjusted frequency value. Different electronic devices can be connected to the device via the connection sockets (2). If we give a technical definition of the oscillator; They are feedback amplifier (amplifier) circuits used to generate signals in the form of square, sine and triangle at certain frequencies. In other words, they are an electronic element that can generate signals by itself. The oscillator to be used in the body (6) in our invention is capable of generating sound waves between 20-20,000 Hz. The scope of protection of this application is determined in the claims section and cannot be limited to those explained above for illustrative purposes. It is clear that a person skilled in the art can reveal the innovation set forth in the invention by using similar structures and/or apply this structure to other areas with similar purposes used in the relevant technique. Therefore, it is also obvious that such structures will lack the criteria of innovation and especially exceeding the known state of the art.
