Your own maturity setting, as well as the maturity setting of land parcels near you, can affect your ability to hear sounds and voices in the Second Life world.
 
=Voice and maturity ratings=
 
Regions that use the {{mra}} maturity rating use a separate Estate channel for voice communication. This means that if you are in an {{mra}} region, you can only speak with other Residents who are also in nearby {{mra}} regions. If you are in an {{mra}} region and you stand near the border of a {{mrg}} or {{mrm}} region, Residents in the other region cannot hear you speak, and you will be unable to hear them speak. Text chat crosses region borders normally, regardless of maturity ratings.
 
{{KBnote| Group and private voice chats are not affected by region maturity ratings, and always function the same way regardless of your location.}}
 
=Gestures, sounds, and maturity ratings=
 
Gestures and other sounds played in Second Life are handled differently than voice chat; your ''personal'' maturity rating determines whether or not you are able to hear sounds originating from a {{mrg}} or {{mra}} region. Your personal maturity rating must meet or exceed the maturity rating on the region you wish to hear sounds from.
 
==Examples==
 
* If your rating is set to {{mrg}}, you can only hear sounds and gestures that originate from a region that is also rated {{mrg}}.
* If your rating is set to {{mrm}}, you can hear sounds and gestures that originate from regions that are rated {{mrg}} or
{{mrm}}.
* If you are [[Linden Lab Official:How to become verified as an adult|age-verifed]] and your maturity rating is set to {{mra}}, you can hear sounds and gestures originating from any nearby region, including {{mra}} regions.
=Parcel media and maturity ratings=
 
By definition, [[Media on a parcel|parcel media content]] is confined to the parcel for which it is set. If your avatar is not authorized to enter a land parcel, you cannot view or hear streaming media that is playing on that parcel.
