class="note"
Research has not identified a source for clarification on what constitutes a sound hazard in digital publications. When a best practice is available, it will be included in these guidelines. In the examples, reporting of sound hazards have been omitted. It is left to the discretion of the publisher on what to include in the metadata. If there is a possible sound hazard,one option is to add information in the accessibility summary.

Unlike other accessibility properties, the presence of hazards can be expressed either positively or
negatively. This is because users search for content that is safe for them as well as want to know
when content is potentially dangerous to them.
