Answer H1

(My helper is trying his best to include a link into the previous post so that the sound files can be accessed. But for now, I will continue to share the solutions as if the files are already available.)

The solution is: Werner's Oven (Highlight to reveal)

After listening to the tracks, you will discover that each track is merely a repetitive beat or groove. What code uses long and short beats? Morse Code. Decode each track to get each letter, and string the letters together to get the answer for the next destination.

So you get:
W = .- -
E = .
R = .- .
N = - .
E = .
R = .- .
S = . . .
O = - - -
V = . . .-
E = .
N = - .

Future game designers take note: Morse code is one of the simplest and most common code available, so use it sparingly and in disguise. Seasoned players just hear or see "long and short" and they will think of Morse code. Disguise means that you should not make the "long and short" too evident, can certainly not is the form of dots and lines. E.g. you can use Tress to imply long and Crew Cut to imply short.
