MAC OS X 10.4 Default Alert Sound and Speech

hello, this might be a weird question, but what is the DEFAULT:

-Sound Effect (Alert Sound)
-Text to Speech (System Voice)

in the MAC OS X 10.4?

 

errr.. thats strange... any1 with a mac can check that easily for me...

you can find this settings under SYSTEM PREFERENCE

-the Alert Sound is under HARDWARE -> SOUND
and the other one
-system voice is under SYSTEM -> SPEECH ->TEXT TO SPEECH

 

Slow down, wobble . Haven't gotten to this thread yet. Anyways...

The default Alert Sound is Funk. And the default System Voice, I'm not sure, as I already changed it. I think its Vicki though.

 

The default System Voice is Vicki, but the Alert Sound is Purr on my iMac G5 and Tink on my MBP - I don't think I changer either, did I?

I remember with Mac OS Classic, the default Alert Sound was Sosumi, though that's not exactly on topic.

 

Weird, I have Funk on mines. I know I didn't change that. And on the iMacs I used at school it was also Funk.

 

Someone else could have changed the one on my iMac, but I really don't think I changed the sound on my MBP, it's too freakin' new !

Sorry for the confusion wobble987.

 

AND...we're stuck . Time for more people to tell us what they got for Default so we can find out which one is right (or maybe both are wrong ).

 

Come on Sam, you're getting lazy, you should just reinstall OSX - just kidding !

Edit: Sam was correct in the original reply. I was at the Apple Store today returning a new Apple Wired Keyboard [that's another story though] and I checked the Alert Sound/System Voice on several Macs. They were all Funk/Vicki. Sorry for the confusion before .

 

Hah! Just joking .

So we've come to a conclusion, Funk and Vicki then. I wonder why they'd be default...Vicki seems to random...

 

I'm not sure why they chose Funk, but I have a little theory that Apple strategically choose a female voice for a broader appeal.

Have you ever used the Chat Now feature on the Apple Store's website? From what I remember all the people I've chatted with have had female names (not that those are their real names, but still). Since we've already proven today that my memory is fleeting I wanted to do a double check so I just used the Chat Now feature and got:
#1 Hi, my name is Latarsha. Welcome to Apple!
#2 Hi, my name is Lori A. Welcome to Apple!
#3 Hi, my name is Nadine. Welcome to Apple!
#4 Hi, my name is Jennifer S. Welcome to Apple!

Four female names in a row, a bit curious .

 

LOL!

Funk/Vicky.

OK guys, thanks a lot!

 

Vick i . Anyways, on behalf of eternal and I , happy to help out.
