One of the components of the Math course I teach requires students to perform mental arithmetic and processing through audio cues so I thought it would be good to record a sample of what a test could sound like.
I recorded it a few times checking the audio quality and also shutting off the heater (it made a difference). I also edited the file in order to give the students 5 seconds to answer each question and also deleted sections with noise in the background.

Hi Kaz,
I agree with the post you put on Marku’s blog about math not having interesting sounds but I think you made the best of it. After seeing your post, I played around with adding the “progress bar” and couldn’t figure it out. You’ll have to let me know how you did it. Abbi
Hi Kaz,
I think you could do some work around sound frequencies and amplitude. My son was very interested when I showed him the soundwave in Audacity. This is probably only useful for a few units and grade levels though.
