The disclosure generally provides methods, systems and apparatus for functional safety systems. Specifically, the disclosure relates to validating functional safety warnings that may be communicated to an operator. Such warnings may include safety warning chimes. An exemplary embodiment relates to an apparatus to validate operation of a Functional Safety (FuSa) platform through delivery of a safety warning signal, the apparatus comprising: a Safety Application to issue a safety warning signal, the safety warning signal configured for audio delivery to an audience; a transmit path in communication with the Safety Application to transmit the safety warning signal; and a digital signal processing (DSP) circuitry to communicate with the transmit path, the DSP circuitry configured to detect the safety warning signal at the transmit path, the DSP circuitry further configured to communicate the detected safety warning signal back to the Safety Application; wherein the transmit path, the Safety Application and the DSP circuitry are integrated on a System-on-Chip (SoC).
