The population of Consilium is diverse and fascinating, but identifying its individual members can be a challenge to those unfamiliar with the various species inhabiting the building. While the environment itself provides clues to the experience Consilium-watcher (e.g., "if I'm in the Foyer, that must be J-Brad"), a more reliable guide is the sounds associated with the occupants. A quick sampling of auditory identifiers:
| Source | Identifier |
| Leslie Sutherland | Any sigh, usually on staircase or in office, lasting longer than 3 seconds |
| Chuck Gilhuly | "Yep." |
| Galin Kora | "Aw, Maaannnnn....", or any factoid about Axel Heiberg Island |
| Jennifer David | Cheerful whistling with indiscernible melody |
| Ron Ryan | "Good morning, people." |
| The Clootch | "AaOOOOooooohhhhh..." |
| Geoff Rigby | Sneeze exceeding 110 db |
