1. A method for enhancing a proximity warning sound comprising:
- determining an indicator of a distance between a first physical object and a second physical object by a processor; and
generating a proximity warning sound, by an audio signal processor, including a reverberation mimicking component that includes reverberation tail components indicative of the proximity of the first physical object to the second physical object responsive to the determined distance indicator;
where the reverberation mimicking component included in the proximity warning sound that is indicative of the determined distance indicator.

Abstract
A system and method for enhancing a proximity warning sound may determine an indicator of a distance between a first object and a second object. A proximity warning sound may be generated including a reverberation mimicking component responsive to the determined distance indicator; where a human listener perceives the reverberation mimicking component included in the audible proximity warning sound to be indicative of the determined distance indicator.
