It is determined whether a personal electronic device of another user is within a threshold distance of the selected audible interface device. In response to determining that the personal electronic device of another user is within the threshold distance of the selected audible interface device, an audible identifier associated with the user is determined. Alert instructions for the audible interface device are generated and sent to the audible interface device over a wireless network via a communication module. The alert instructions cause the audible interface device to generate the audible alert in accordance with alert data provided in the alert instructions. The generation of the audible alert is preceded by generation of the audible identifier associated with the user to notify the user of the forthcoming audible …
