It depends on what you're transmitting, and how you're transmitting it, and
how the transmitter and reciever are ``tuned'' (this includes any humans at
either end). Here's a simple example; something really bad is happening,
something very dangerous. Which conveys that meaning more, a flashing light
that says ``DANGER'' or a loud dischord of several tones?

BTW, please cite your references.
