“…The sound of power windows installed in automobiles is also an interesting area of sound quality investigation related to the automobile industry.I n [ 12], the influence wasi dentified and the relationship established between sound intensity, transient effects and time dependence on the sound annoy-ance. In [13] it wass hown that lowl oudness, sharpness and motor speed fluctuations lead to perception of high sound quality of power windows in automobiles. Sound quality of car horns [14] and the investigation of booming sensation in the passenger car interior [15] have also been the focus of car sound quality researchers.…”

Sound quality evaluation in the context of product sound quality has been addressed and investigated on hand-held power tools. Out of those, power drills, hand-held circular saws and jigsaws have been chosen as the products of interest. As eries of listening tests has been conducted in order to ascertain howp eople perceive not only the sound emitted by these devices in operation, buta lso certain properties of the devices themselves, such as their quality,s afety of handling, robustness, proper functioning and others. The values of objective parameters describing the sounds of these devices were obtained. Well known parameters such as loudness, sharpness and roughness were used, and certain newp arameters were defined. Linear regression models were made for subjective parameters describing the perception of the devices using relevant objective parameters as an attempt to model the subjective grades obtained through listening tests and to predict such grades for future products to be included in the investigation. Based on individual parameters, asingle-number overall grade wasdefined. PACS no. 43.66.Lj, 43.66.Yw ACTA ACUSTICA UNITED WITH ACUSTICA Horvat et al.:S ound quality of hand-held tools Vol. 98 (2012)

“…In order to quantitatively explain the dimension of the derived soundscape in an automobile, previous researchers used psychoacoustic parameters [30]. Huang et al [31] designed a model to predict the sound quality of the vehicle interior noise through 10 psychoacoustic parameters, such as loudness, sharpness, roughness, etc.…”

The technical performance of recent automobiles is highly progressed and standardized across different manufacturers. This study seeks to derive a semantic space of engine acceleration sound quality for end users and identify the relation with sound characteristics. For this study, two affective attributes: ‘refined’ and ‘powerful’, and eight acoustic parameters considering revolutions per minute were used to determine the correlation coefficient for those affective attributes. In the experiment, a total of 35 automobiles were selected. Each of the 3rd gear wide open throttle sounds was recorded and evaluated by 42 adult subjects with normal hearing ability and driving license. Their subjective evaluations were analyzed using factor analysis, independent t-test, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. The prediction models for the affective dimensions show distinct differences for the revolutions per minute. From the experiment, it was confirmed that the customers’ affective response can be predicted through the acoustic parameters. In addition, it was found that the initial revolutions per minute in the accelerated condition had the greatest influence on the affective response. This study can be a useful guideline to design engine acceleration sounds that satisfy customers’ affective experience.

“…Sharpness generally indicates a negative effect of sound quality (Nykänen & Sirkka, ; Wagner & Kallus, ; Zwicker & Fastl, ). For impulsive sounds, Hoechstetter, Sautter, Gabbert, and Verhey () identified that the duration of sharpness is more strongly correlated to sound quality than loudness.…”

Whereas smart products have emerged as a new product category, almost no studies have introduced product sounds that give a smart impression. Moreover, technological development has increased the need to shape or design consequential sounds, which have been recognized to depend on the mechanical properties of a product. Therefore, we introduce an approach to design consequential sounds for a camera‐shutter sound. First, we elicit design variables from existing camera‐shutter sounds and conduct an experiment to examine their effects on smartness and satisfaction. Next, the time structure‐related variables of a camera‐shutter sound are modified and evaluated with eight sound descriptors. The results demonstrate the relationship between design variables and affective variables by adopting the concept of psychoacoustic variables. The proposed method might be able to assist in designing a consequential sound to present both smart impressions and other targeted sound impressions depending on the research purpose.
