The added sound is based on ' WaveNet ', which was created by Google's artificial intelligence project ' DeepMind ' and can generate natural sounds like humans. By the way, in the United States, 11 types of voices are available, including the voice of John Legend , who has a history of winning all Emmy, Grammy, Academy and Tony Awards.
