Retake for Sound Test on Bavelier Multi-Hit - the Requester listened to our concerns

Thank you to all of our participants who emailed us about their concern with the qualification pre-task for the second HIT in our study. During our initial testing of the task, the vast majority of our participants had no issues with the ba and pa sounds. However, with the number of people who have contacted us now after failing the pre-task, it is clear that we needed to change the task.
We are giving those of you who initially did not pass the pre-task a second attempt at our study. We have updated the sounds in the pre-task to be clearer versions of ba and pa, so there should be no confusion about which one you are hearing. If you use the previous link to the batch of HITs for our study (
https://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?groupId=3VILS635XFHQB7CWJHEAKGCAYG2SP8 ) you should have access again to the tasks, and you will be again presented with the second task.
If you pass the pre-task and complete the second HIT, we will again pay you the full amount for that task, and you can continue with the rest of the study. This includes receiving full payment for the tasks you do complete, and the completion bonus if you finish all 15 HITs.
However, if you do not pass the pre-task again, we will only pay you the listed HIT payment of $0.05 with no bonus.
We are extremely sorry that the task was unfair to those of you who were honestly attempting to do the task. We are trying to correct our mistake, so if you still would like to continue with our study, we definitely encourage you to. If however, you do not want to continue, we understand and again apologize.
Thank you for your time, and let us know if you have any questions.
