In France I see (and hear) more and more use of a special type of warning device, "le cri de lynx" that reduces sonic pollution by building sites.

It does remind me of a video from Tom Scott about the use of white noise for reversing trucks. It has multiple benefits over the old beeping sound, including being easily able to hear the direction the sound is coming from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa28lIGuxq8
Sadly I don’t speak French and Searching for whatever this is isn’t working.
If it’s noise cancelling it sounds amazing.
Can you further expand?
It's the noise you hear at about the one minute mark when the digger is reversing: https://youtu.be/BljL3XO0fyg?t=59

Oh this is horrible.
We don’t want people run over by reversing vehicles, but also, if I had to listen to that every day, I’d leap in front of them.
