The Audible Universe project aims at making dialogue between two scientific domains investigating two distinct research objects, briefly said, Stars and Sound. It has been instantiated within a collaborative workshop that started to mutually acculturate both communities, by sharing and transmitting respective knowledge, skills and practices. One main outcome of this exchange was a global view on the astronomical data sonification paradigm that allowed to observe either the diversity of tools, uses and users (including visually-impaired people), but also the current limitations and potential ways of improvement. From this perspective, the current paper presents basic elements gathered and contextualised by sound experts in their respective fields (sound perception / cognition, sound design, psychoacoustics, experimental psychology), in order to anchor sonification for astronomy in a more well-informed, methodological and creative process.

The research community on Auditory Design has been active and organized now for almost 25 years. Work in Auditory Display is pluri-disciplinary/inter-disciplinary in nature, and involves disciplines such as perception, acoustics, digital signal processing, multimodality, ergonomics, aesthetics, cognition, etc. Published works have spanned fundamental, phenomenological, theoretical, applicative, and artistic studies. Over the years, various journals have had special issues related to such work. The range of the associated journals reflects the variety of implicated domains. This current special issue presents a collection of extended works that were selected from papers presented at the 2015 International Conference on Auditory Display. We present here an overview of the selection process and the accepted papers.

“…Lenzi et al in their review article discuss five different projects applying sonification to socially relevant issues and compare them based on intentionality in their design [8]. Sonification has also been used to communicate data on alcohol health risks [9]. Furfaro et al used interactive sonification to measure emotional, perceptual and motor behaviour of individuals [10].…”

Data sonification is a means of representing data through sound and has been utilized in a variety of applications. Crime against women has been a rising concern in India. We explore the potential of data sonification to provide an immersive engagement with sensitive data on Crime Against Women in Indian states. The data for nine crime categories covering thirty-five Indian states over a period of twelve years is acquired from National records. Sonification techniques of parameter mapping and auditory icons are adopted: sound parameters such as frequencies, amplitudes and timbres are incorporated to represent the crime data, and audio sounds of women screams are employed as auditory icons to emphasize the traumatic experience. Higher crime rates are assigned higher frequencies, harsher scream textures and larger amplitudes. A user-friendly interface is developed with multiple options for sequential and comparative data sonification. Through the interface, a user can evaluate or compare the extent of crime against women in different states, years or crime categories. Sound spatialization is used to immerse the listener in the sound and further intensify the sonification experience. To assess and validate effectiveness, a user study on twenty participants is conducted with feedback obtained through questionnaires. The responses indicate that the participants could comprehend trends in the data easily and found the data sonification experience impactful. Sonification may therefore prove to be a valuable tool for data representation in fields related to social and human studies.
