Voice waveform DESPERATELY needs to by modified
The voice starts out like a gunshot. Look at your waveform. It shouldn't start with a spike, but I gaurantee it does. It can be shocking. All quiet and then "In one mile, turn left" But it goes from silence to WAAAAY TOOO LOUD way too fast. It is an assault on the ear drum. By modulating the waveform ever so slightly, you could remedy this, but it's been like that as long as I have used Waze. There needs to be a few hundredth of a second of sound buildup so you don't give the driver a heart attack.…

Change Voice Command Trigger
Love that you have voice control now but could i suggest a change. Given what you do would it not be fun to say Hi Waze and then to close you could say Bye Waze. so you would have Highways and Byways.
I'm sure we could get some other good road puns in there.

BRING BACK THE PREVIOUS UK VOICES.
The new UK voices (with street names) in the May 2022 update are awful. The female one sounds like she is about to explode with excitement, warning you of a hazard, and the male like he has just spent years at a private school.2 votes -
Kate (UK) voice: needs some tweaks
Unlike some other users here, I like the new 'Kate (UK)' voice: I like her tone & generally clear pronunciation. My complaint, however, is when she says "Go straight on": the last "t" of the word "straight" is completely dropped (i.e she says "Go straigh on"), which is out of character with the rest of her otherwise good enunciation, & very annoying! Please fix with an update when you can! Thanks...

Voice ads instead of popping ads that would block the navigation screen.
Hi Waze team, have an idea/suggestion...
Instead of popping out ads during users’ navigation, why not let the Voice Direction narrate the ads? So it would be a voice ad, like in the fm radio. And you can also add a cute lil “go-to” button on the navigation screen so users can tap on it and gets navigated to the shop/advertiser if applicable and necessary.
Reason being is; when you pop out ads while users are navigating, typically it would block the navigation screen, and users would just:
- either ignore with hopes that the ad would go away quickly…3 votesThank you for your suggestion! We try to make our ads as useful as possible to Wazers. An ad-free version is not planned for the near future.

Bring back the voice that says “rookie” and “newbie”
Bring back the voice that says “rookie” and “newbie”
1 voteThank you for your suggestion!
As you probably know, some of the voices we feature are promotional, meaning they are only available for a limited time.
We offer special voices for holidays, events, and just for fun.
You can use these for the length of the promotion. When the promotion ends, your voice will reset to the default and the voice will no longer appear in the Sound menu.We hope that you enjoyed the voice while it was available and can’t wait to share more exciting voices to come!
Want to try another voice?
Tap Menu and tap the Settings wheel.
Tap Voice & sound.
Tap Voice Language and select the voice you’d like to use. -
Voice notifications in Car play are too loud and horrible
The voice alerts are too loud and the voice is also very unpleasant to the ears and also it sounds like the voice is too much amplified that it sounds distorted/breaking.
Please fix this bug. Otherwise providing feature to control the volume of voice alerts would be great. It is possible in my Audi to change volume of Alerts/Notifications/Navigation separately from the Music volume when using Sygic app.

Implement user-configurable delay (in increments of 0.1 sec) for voice alerts
Some vehicle Bluetooth implementations have lengthy handshaking which prevents the first second or two of Waze voice alerts from actually being heard. My car has a feature that ramps up the volume of a Bluetooth phone incrementally on first connection. However, the impact is that in most driving situations, the first two seconds are simply too quiet to be heard!
For example, instead of "In 500 metres, turn right onto Main Street.", all you hear is ".. to Main Street". Obviously, this information is unclear and confusing, forcing the driver to glance at the map on the phone to verify…

Voice suggestion: SHODAN from System Shock
This may be impossible/impractical and off the wall for most users but through all the years of having another map program try to make me turn into walls, make illegal U turns on the highway and occasionally getting me (purposefully) lost, I have always thought she was behind it anyway.
https://soundcloud.com/nightdivestudios/shodan-thanks-you-backers-hackers
This is great timing for it, Nightdive is working with the original voice actress for their System Shock remake.

Could you voice when…
- It would be nice to hear a Voice when there is a reroute option when there is an accident.
- It would be safer for the driver to be able to speak to Waze when there is an accident, police, hazardous materials on the road or a car on the side etc.

use voice directions based on signs
voice navigation (following waze's directions by ear, without looking on the screen)
as I understand, currently the orders are given by street name, this may cause difficulties in situation where route that should be driven has tottaly different naming and signs (happened to me...). my suggestion is to make a consideration in sign when defining the voice navigation for each junction, or let us the users to add the street name that is seen on the sign.1 voteThanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

Junction after junction only pre-alert by voice, no graphic indicates.
Turn after turn only mention in voice over, has no graphic indicater. Ex. Keep right then the next keep left right aways less then 100 meter.
It's easy to miss the second voice over, and it's very dangerous to driver.
Such as: keep right 200 Meter + keep left 50 Meter.

Give us back the classic robot voice
Give us the option to have the classic 'robot' voices back (specifically Kate UK). This new "more human" voice is not conducive to how I use Waze, because I find that I tune out instructions that sound like just a person talking in the car. I want my driving instructions to sound like instructions, not idle car chitchat.
