Text~Tone(sm): Auditory Highlighting/Rating of Text

Friends/

Not Only Is The World Not Black&White, It Is Not Just A
Carousel of Color, Nor Haptic 

Humans Are MultiModal Creatures With MultiModal Minds 

Here Within I Propose The Development and Implementation of
Technology That Would Allow Authors/Readers to Highlight
Text With Varying Degrees of Sound.

SOUND 
Wikipedia:Sound is vibration transmitted through a solid,
liquid, or gas; particularly, sound means those vibrations
composed of frequencies capable of being detected by ears.

Using Other/Related Audio/Auditory Technologies Readers
Would be Able To Hear That Range of Tones Layered Over The
Text Within A Corpus And/Or Substitute And/Or Supplement An
Author's Audio/Auditory Layer

Such Tones Could Be Used to Denote Another Dimension Of The
Text OR Denote Relative Importance. 

THINK That This Is FarFetched? Not Really. Nearly A Decade
Ago I Began to Explore Auditory Browsing Interaction in Web
and non-Web Databases:

_The NextWAVe(sm)_
