Only one minor comment about the experiment, involving how you will
instruct the subjects in the "non speech" bias condition.  Telling
them that you are considering these sounds as a computer generated
warning signal for the workplace still puts the sounds in the context
of a message, albeit a non-verbal one, and may not provide the full
measure of biasing that you desire.  I might suggest telling them that
they are different computer generated musical instruments, and perhaps
mix them with such.
