Crosscultural Effects in Audio-Visual Interactions
TLDR
The results show that an influence of the color to the perception of loudness for most subjects does exist while the averaged effect over all subjects is small and an experiment with the semantic differential can explain the different favour of German and Japanese subjects for the most quiet sound.Abstract:
In this study, the evaluation of audio-visual interaction regarding to the sounds and colours of trains was investigated. Different pictures of trains were modified in their colors and presented on a liquid crystal screen in a sound proof room with the appropriate sound of the train. The subjects judged the loudness of the sound-picture stimuli with the method “ free magnitude estimation” . At first, a previous study with German subjects and German trains was repeated under the same conditions with Japanese subjects. Furthermore different experiments with more Japanese trains were performed. To conclude differences between Japanese and German subjects in the estimation of loudness, a semantic differential experiment was arranged. The results show that an influence of the color to the perception of loudness for most subjects does exist while the averaged effect over all subjects is small. In addition an experiment with the semantic differential can explain the different favour of German and Japanese subjects for the most quiet sound.read more

Influence of vehicle color on loudness judgments
TL;DR: Investigation of the effect of images of differently colored sports cars on the loudness of a simultaneously perceived car sound suggests that the color of the visual stimulus may have a small influence on loudness judgments.
Recent developments in sound quality evaluation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present various contributions to a structured session on sound quality organized by the present author, where two cases of sound quality are considered: one, where sound quality is the dominant, generic feature of a product like musical instruments or loudspeakers, and a second, wheresound quality is a byproduct like the sound of Dieselengines or to give a more exotic example the sound quality of snoring.

Representation of the soundscape quality in urban areas through colours
TL;DR: The colours associated by interviewed people to different urban soundscapes have been analysed, and the possibility of using meaningful colours to represent the soundscape quality in noise mapping has been examined.

Loudness in Daily Environments
Hugo Fastl,Mary Florentine +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors take the study of loudness out of artificial controlled laboratories and observe the perceived loudness under more ecologically valid conditions, and find that some assumptions made in the laboratories do not apply to daily environments.

The effect of concert hall color on preference and auditory perception
Yuxiao Chen,Densil Cabrera +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated loudness, reverberance, and their visual and auditory preference for multiple virtual reality scenes of a concert hall with various colors and with a music excerpt of various levels of gain and reverberation time.

Psychological Evaluation of Waterside Space Using Audio-Visual Information:
TL;DR: In this article, an experiment on the evaluation of the waterside space using audio-visual information was conducted, where the interaction of audio and visual information and the relation between the physical characteristics of sound from water and the impression were examined.
Sound quality of road traffic noise transmitted through different types of simulated wall
TL;DR: In this paper, sounds from four kinds of wall, i.e. concrete block, a single glass, double glasses and plaster board, were simulated using a digital filter and the sound quality of road traffic noise was tested using semantic differential.
