Support background noise in voice sims

Description

Documents the dashboard control for background sound in voice simulations. Changes docs only.

  • observability/simulations-configure-ai-tester: moves background sound from API-only to the Dashboard column and adds a ## Background sound section (anchor #background-sound, which the dashboard links to). It covers the toggle in the personality's advanced settings, the five bundled presets and their API values (toggle defaults to White noise; Office plays about 30 dB below the tester's speech, the rest about 15 dB), custom HTTPS URLs (1,000-character URL, 25 MB file, loops, WAV preferred), and the API field personality.assistant.backgroundSound. It opens with a GPT-Live warning, notes that target denoising makes a clean recording expected, and has a ### Hear the raw noise subsection on turning denoising off through targetOverrides.
  • assistants/background-speech-denoising: one line under best practices saying denoising also applies when a simulation tester plays background sound.
  • test/simulations-best-practices: one bullet recommending a noisy-caller scenario.

Merge order: merge after the VapiAI/vapi PR "TEST-61 Bundle named background sounds for calls and sims" (number to follow) ships to production, and at or before VapiAI/vapi#25265.

Testing Steps

  • fern check (pinned 5.151.1): 0 errors
  • Link targets #fourier-denoising-experimental and #configure-the-ai-tester exist on the live site
  • Check the preview deployment: #background-sound anchor, presets table, and both JSON blocks render correctly

Nice, only thing I'd question is if the GPT Live x office limitation could be lifted or enforced at the API level rather than making it the users' problem, but not a big deal and could easily be a follow-up.
