“…The duration of single heavy-weight floor impact sound was 0.5 s for all stimuli, which corresponds to the typical duration of all data measured in 26 floors. Duration of 0.5 s is enough to perceive psychoacoustical aspects of sound like loudness, timbre, and so on (Kuwano et al, 1999;Roberts et al, 2005), which is highly correlated with annoyance. A low-pass filter with cutoff frequency at 4 kHz was then applied to remove electrical noise components in the higher frequency range.…”

This study investigated the relation between annoyance and single-number quantities to rate heavy-weight floor impact sound insulation. Laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate the subjective response of annoyance resulting from heavy-weight floor impact sounds recorded in wooden houses. Stimuli had two typical spectra and their modified versions, which simulate the precise change in frequency response resulting from insulation treatments. Results of the first experiment showed that the Zwicker's percentile loudness (N(5)) was the quantity to rate most well annoyance of heavy-weight impact sound over a wide sound level range. The second experiment revealed that arithmetic average (L(iFavg,Fmax)) of octave-band sound pressure levels measured using the time constant "fast" and Zwicker's percentile loudness (N(5)) much better described annoyance by the precise change in the sound spectrum attributable to insulation treatments than Japanese standardized single-number quantities (L(i,Fmax,r), L(iA,Fmax), and L(i,Fmax,Aw)) do. Japanese standardized single-number quantities using the A-weighting curve as a rating curve were found to be excessively influenced by the 63 Hz octave-band sound level and have the great sound level-dependences in the relation with subjective ratings.

“…Despite the acknowledged importance of impact sound on players' perceptions [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], only a few studies of the sound characteristics of sports equipment have actually been undertaken and all have been related to golf. Wicks et al [2] compared the dynamic properties of forged and cast clubheads but found little difference in the natural frequencies of the whole clubs or the acoustic response of the heads.…”

“…Kuwano et al [5] asked ten subjects to rate the sounds from numerous different drivers using seven-point adjective scales ranging from "hard-soft", "sharp-dull", "refreshing-not refreshing", "powerful-weak" and "vividdead". Strong correlations were obtained between the subjects' perceptions and the psychoacoustic metrics loudness and sharpness of the measured impact sounds.…”

“…The sound of a golf impact has been found to contribute significantly to a golfer's perception of a shot [1][2][3][4][5]. Variations in sound characteristics between different clubs, such as the pitch, tone colour, loudness and duration of the impact sounds, are detected by the golfers and affect the desirability of a club.…”
