Are there parameters for audio hazards, like the threshold for flashing hazards

Dear all,

Like we have threshold for flashing hazards (not more than 3 per second), do 
we have some parameters for identifying if an audio pattern is a audio 
hazard?
I am aware that different audio patterns can be bad for different users. But 
if we have some kind of parameters for it, it will be quite helpful.
This question was asked in the following issue of EPUB WG:
https://github.com/w3c/epub-specs/issues/1302

Thank you
Avneesh

Hi Alastair, al,

The EU Web Accessibility Directive (WAD) should go into review this
year. If clearer guidance is provided on these aspects, maybe these
differences in applicable requirements could get better aligned.

Best,
