FYI, I received this response from SONYCNYU requester. I wrote them about their speaker test failure, and half of their T.O. reviews are negative (yellow/red) due to this issue, and also it being perceived as an unpaid screener. I mentioned it was reasonable to consider most have other speakers to try (like a headset?), etc. Since all following batches from them are disqualified due to this.

Thanks for reaching out. If you received this error once it will prevent you from participating going forward. We are working on setting things up so that mturkers can try the hearing test again upon request. Unfortunately, setting this up is much more of a challenge than we expected and is taking a while to set up. I will let you know when this opportunity is available in the near future.
Best,
Ayanna
